Devs were only allowed a few (I believe two) tickets per nomination before Geoff charged them. Resale tickets were in the hundreds. And we all know what happened to Future Class (if you don’t, read my piece).

i'm thankful for my health, the opportunities i allowed myself to take without being held back by fear (ty beta blockers), a fulfilling professional life (despite being shy and bad at keeping in regular touch lol rip), and that i reignited my love of reading (i finished my 14th book today!)

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.
