David Dylan Thomas started his closing talk strong with such a good quote.
It's still going strong.
Like his talks title says:
"No, seriously, fuck engagement: Building a more human web"
From years of being bored, unsatisfied, or struggling in various jobs and industries, I finally feel like I have come home.
I'm so happy to join an industry with such brilliant, interesting, and gloriously nerdy people - I mean this in the best possible way!
I have attended both Beyond Tellerrand Düsseldorf and CSS Day 2024 and, wow. Huge thank yous to the organisers, speakers, and to the many warm and funny fellow attendees I had the joy to socialise with.
This is my church.
I like the web monetisation proposal being brought forward by @ppk:
- Beloved sites get sold and dropped or "eaten by AI", and the reason is money.
- For those willing, a trickling micro payment stream could send a few cents every few seconds from a reader's wallet to that of a website owner.
- The readers would control their max rate and max outlay per month, for example.
- The readers could block certain sites/domains from receiving money.
- There are still lots of open questions!
In case anyone at #BTConf finds my little stickers and wonders what they are for - it's pure silly fun:
Weird WC-based thought about #BTConf - how nice to be at a tech conference so well attended by women that I occasionally have to search for a free cubicle 😆
Not that the search is fun. But it's so nice to see that we're here in force :)
These Dyson taps can get in the sea, though. Terrible UX, hard to understand how they work. They also blow the water on my hands back at my waist area, and makes the edge of the sink all wet.
Chris Campe of @BerlinLetters inadvertently became a protest sign influencer after painting some protest signs for herself to use.
She leant into it, and started doing workshops on how to draw effective protest signs.
@laura I particularly liked this character, as one of the personas I could embody to help enact change (more agreeable characters were also suggested!):

Survived DB, on foot to niu Tab. Too late for film showing. See you later at the rest of the warm up :) #btconf #klassenfahrt
- Feedback is a gift, even if not so intended. It is sometimes uncomfortable, but that means it's useful.
- It is just information. Do with it what you want.
- Become a collector of feedback. Get as much information out of a session as you can.
- Not everyone has to to like your work, or like you.
- It's rarely about you. They may have stuff going on, or have a pissed-off thinking face.
- Assume some negative feedback.
- Feedback may sting, because we're human.
Thank you David de Léon.
