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.
- 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.
Nope, I don't think I can do Oliver Schöndorfer's talk justice.
He artfully weaved between pro and con accessibility stances (and clearly came out on the correct side, of course) - while acknowledging the troubles people have trying to understand and implement accessible design.
There was so much more to this talk, I recommend you go watch the video once it's publicised!

Thanks @marcthiele for having me! It is alway such a pleasure!
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!
Great start of #btconf by Chris Campe with the perfect sticker
