I've just hit publish on the photos and videos for the last conference in May. It's wonderful to reflect now a few months have passed on what an amazing day it was. I'll look back at the years we ran All Day Hey! with incredibly fond memories.

Earlier this month, we delivered the final All Day Hey! conference, our tenth edition. I’ve been reflecting in the aftermath of the event as people have published their thoughts on the day, about the purpose of events like ours and how their existence is fundamental to our industry.

A sincere thank you to everyone who came to the last edition of All Day Hey! yesterday. There are many things I'd like to say, I'll write a post at some point soon. My heart is full and I'm looking forward to a good nap. The perfect ending to ten years of hosting this wonderful community.

The stage is set for the last All Day Hey! and I'm getting ready to give the closing remarks, signalling ten years of the conference. All a bit emotional, to be honest with you. Incredibly excited to get everyone together and feel the buzz in the room. If you've bagged a ticket, I'll see you there 🫡

This morning, I set Claude off upgrading a legacy Rails app with a bunch of vulnerabilities and it did an incredible job of bringing the codebase up to date. A few smoke tests and test runs later, all was proven to be in working order.

Me and James had a wonderful chat with Tom Forth on where innovation funding really goes in the UK, and how we need to be stronger and more insistent when it comes to securing funding outside of London.

I had a great chat with James about taking AI coded POCs to production, and some of the common gotchas to watch out for. It's wild what's possible now with AI editors and agents, but it exposes a whole host of challenges and vulnerabilities. heypresents.com/podcast/55

See what Heldiney from Monzo had to say about the 2024 conference: "Speaking at All Day Hey! turned me into a fan. There are few spaces where designers, engineers, product managers and tech practitioners can come together — talk about all things technology, experience and life...
