A quick look back on yesterday, my first #MonkiGras: A great slate of mind-expanding talks, from @geekygirldawn’s feudalism and power analysis of rug-pulling and forks to Michael Coté’s attempts to play Dungeons and Dragons with GenAI.
Lucas Käldström and Alex Zenla spoke about their journeys working in tech and open source as teenagers through today (they’re both just in their 20s!). Thanks to RedMonk for convening this gathering, and looking forward to today — including giving my talk at 11am.
#MonkiGras where @reconditerose is speaking about how to build a sustainable community around a fork, going from Redis to Valkey. Also celebratory Valkey birthday cupcakes!
@polexa you missed the best part. Everyone sang happy birthday to me on stage. The British have a twisted sense of humor
