Conf Thoughts

• I've attended plenty of conferences to see something that's cool and put it in a list to try out. I've tried out many fewer. This conference starts with trying stuff out. Maybe less stuff, more trying.
• I've attended conferences where talks that interested me were hard to find some hours. In this conference, I can decide what I want to look at, learn, and try at every moment.
• Such an open learning experience needs some boundaries. It's easy to get distracted. Some of those tangents are fun. Having a todo list is useful to productivity.
• For someone who likes to learn, it feels like a vacation. For a company that gives vacation, it's the best kind: where a worker goes home and learns technical topics that relate to his job.
