OK, I might've chosen violence when I submitted "Why I ❤️ C#" for @nljug.bsky.social's annual #JFall conference. But it's the program committee that accepted it, really! /JK, I know you have a difficult job each year and I appreciate your efforts. Looking forward to present both sessions this fall!

My @devoxx.com talks were submitted weeks before today's deadline. Unsure what that says about me. Who cares, it spreads the workload for the people having to review it, and I think that's what matters.

So many still don't understand the open source contract. I don't develop code for your needs. I develop code for my needs and share it with you to use however you like (in accordance with the license). Nothing says I have to continue working on it or accept contributions. I might, but I might not.
