dear god

yeah, lots of good prior art in this space. from my side, I'm looking at how to make the local experience great AND find ways to share that experience that's still fun if you couldn't be there (but definitely makes you *want* to be there next time). multi-leveraging community spend feels important

I imagine we'll still see those usage metrics show up, even if the focus shifts to "AI as tooling". people love a usage chart 🙃

that's a great question, and I don't have a good answer. a lot of what I've been talking about companies with is more local concentrations of devs, so focusing on in-person connections and figuring out how to support/scale that across multiple locations

yes please! I reference you and your work a TON when trying to convince people to do interesting things. fingers crossed the message lands!

my first thought on reading this was, "wait, you can use neck pillows for your butt?" in case you were wondering what stage of jet lag I'm currently in 😆

I do the same unless it conflicts with my “no overnight layover” policy

thanks! great to get some face time with you! hope to do it again soon

Phil I’m stuck in Heathrow for so long that I’m going to have to eat at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant

yeah I'm fully braced for this to go off the rails
