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.
Dieses Jahr keine #btconf #klassenfahrt für mich #ausgruenden
Ich werde ab Sonntag zur #btconf in Düsseldorf sein. Diesmal im Ctrl+T Hotel (get it?) und ohne offizielles Hörer*innen-Event oder geplanten Stream sondern rein privat, freue mich aber natürlich trotzdem auf bekannte Gesichter. Wer ist mit am Start? #klassenfahrt
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!
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.
Es wird sportlich in Mannheim. #btconf #klassenfahrt
In case anyone at #BTConf finds my little 
stickers and wonders what they are for - it's pure silly fun:

A couple of impression from day one at @btconf Düsseldorf 2024. Speakers today were Chris Campe, Adrienne Tacke, Oliver Schöndorfer, David de Léon, @maggie and Stefan Sagmeister.
Exhausted, but pretty happy with the results. See y'all tomorrow!
