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"
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.

Went for a run in Südpark this morning to process the phenomenal first day of the conference yesterday. Really superb talks and good vibes all around. Can’t wait what today will bring! #btconf
@laura I particularly liked this character, as one of the personas I could embody to help enact change (more agreeable characters were also suggested!):
Die Bahn machts möglich... Nach dem ICE musste ich wegen Stammstreckensperrung planmäßig auf eine Regionalbahn ausweichen, die es geschafft hat, bei 8 Minuten Fahrt trotz pünktlicher Abfahrt 11 Minuten Verspätung anzuhäufen. Fürsorglich wie die Bahn ist, musste ich dadurch wenigstens nicht lange in der Kühle auf die S-Bahn warten und durch die ursprünglichen "nur" 13 Minuten Umstiegspuffer ist mir auch noch warm geworden, als ich von Gleis 7 zu 13 joggen durfte...
Time is scarce. We have too much to do. We can't keep up. We can't mindfulness our way out of it.
How would the big creative minds of history have coped in today's time-scarce world? What are today's creative minds doing? Are some of them stuck tweaking buttons?
How can we use AI to reclaim our time? Can we use it to brainstorm ideas? Have we use it to boost our own learning?
