The #polyglotunconf afterparty was held at the False Creek Yacht Club. The organizers did a great job at making the weather nice 😎 Had a good time connecting with some very interesting folks. This is a great conf for bringing together people from many different walks of computing life.

Just finished #polyglotunconf 🎉 300 people showed up and collaboratively created a multi track conference. I went to sessions on building an eng team post-AI, LoFi software, self-hosting, and managing context in enterprise. Met a TON of new people. Now off to the afterparty 🍻
