Bryan and Adam were joined by Theo Schlossnagle, KellyAnn Fitzpatrick, and Steve O'Grady to talk about conferences in tech. A lot has changed in the past couple of decades about the impetus for conferences and what makes it worthwhile to attend. In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal , speakers included Theo Schlossnagle , KellyAnn Fitzpatrick , and Steve O'Grady . The lightly edited live chat from the show: ellie.idb : 2005, huh? y’all met when i was 2 goodjanet : yea i was younger than 10 lol jgrillo_ : I was just thinking I feel very young because I was a junior in high school but not anymore lol aka_pugs : my first conference - 1975 ellie.idb : oxide appeals to the youth jbk1234 : my first one was LISA in 05 or 06... mostly because it took a near act of god because my director didn't believe in sending his people to conferences jgrillo_ : "before software ate the world" is what I usually call "when the internet was still fun" ellie.idb : my earliest memory was, uhhh, Google I/O 2008 when they gave every attendee that android phone ellie.idb : i don’t recall which one it was, but i do remember playing with it when i was 5 hahahaha taitomagatsu : I've only been to one tech conference in person, and it was a very tame SIGGRAPH that happened in Santiago, CL (I live in Chile). It was a lot about animation. I wanted it to have talks on image processing like the ones over on the US x3 but oh well, beggars can't be choosers goodjanet : I've never been to a tech conference devdsp2175 : The Germans know how to run a conference. The chaos communications congress is wild. ellie.idb : same!! never actually attended one as an adult hahaha taitomagatsu : Have you attended one remotely? goodjanet : nope, closest is just watching recorded talks after the fact taitomagatsu : I attended the rustconf of 2 years ago remotely. It was amazing and I was soooo tired by the end of it. Brain got depleted of juice for the day network2501 : looking forward to in person dtrace conference with a dedicated zball room ahl0003 : more of a trade show, but I went to the MacWorld conference in the late '90s ahl0003 : I still have some BeOS install CDs from then goodjanet : im so thankful for recorded talks ahl0003 : this is kind of wild: I went with my brother who was 12 or so and we met a guy at Be... my brother would go on to work with him 30 years later! ellie.idb : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid the OG droid with the flip up keyboard and everything tocococa : ISCA this year was just around the corner from Santiago in Buenos Aires and it was pretty cool, and CARLA took place this year in Santiago too blacksmithforlife : Since I can never get a conference approved from work, I live off recorded conference videos on YouTube network2501 : best mom devdsp2175 : The shade! Sending hugs to Bryan's inner child. taitomagatsu : daaaaaamn, I didn't know about either! I might keep an eye on ISCA, maybe I can go next year ❤️ devdsp2175 : You can't record the hallway track... jh179 : Bryan's talk for Papers We Love on the History of Containers is how I found out about him, Oxide and all the rest. Had an incredible tangent about jails... zeanic : Conference idea: all hallway tracks devdsp2175 : YouTube keeps recommending Bryan's talks on running containers on the metal at Joyant. devdsp2175 : And I keep watching them! ellie.idb : wow, ISCA had some really fucking cool talks this year ellie.idb : damn. i’m adding this to my watch list too!!! i’ll try and see if i can get funding for next year hahaha tocococa : yeah, 100%, but my brain was melted after every day nahumshalman : Bryan has the luxury of working on OSS. I think the point that Theo was making is that Surge (I only attended the very last one) was a space where you could be open about proprietary stuff. Talking about failure in a safe space, etc. nahumshalman : Ah, Theo is now making that point. taitomagatsu : Does ISCA have any sort of official YT channel? taitomagatsu : Because I might... have a handful of talks to watch goodjanet : 18 years ago isnt that long ago? network2501 : 18 years ago is almost 3 generations of lives/eras ago ellie.idb : what HPC conferences are going on? i need to hear about the deets going on with CXL jgrillo_ : although 18yr is ~half my life it doesn't feel very long ago.. tocococa : I am not sure, I know that all keynotes were recorded, but I don´t know where they might be ellie.idb : 21 years ago i was not alive 😅 network2501 : What if the second time you do the talk it's even better than the last? Like book revisions? ahl0003 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i1OK4y9x0w taitomagatsu : I've found a channel that has older ISCA videos https://www.youtube.com/@acmsigarch2299 , imma keep looking for one that might have the 2024 one blacksmithforlife : Working in government, watching "old" conference videos is great because they're "cutting edge" for where my organization is at currently. Case in point, we are just now going to the cloud and doing micro services taitomagatsu : https://xkcd.com/979/ ahl0003 : https://craft-conf.com/2025 srockets : That’s why I liked !!con so much. No one tries to sell you anything. jgrillo_ : I've never owned a car newer than 20yo, that's kind what it's like when you look at the car ads from its era devdsp2175 : Are you also doing an "Agile Transformation" which is neither transformative nor optimising for agility? ahl0003 : https://monktoberfest.com/ srockets : (Also, Ghent had better bike racing than Budapest) srockets : But worse weather bcantrill : https://youtu.be/stMEuZJJDck?list=PLvsKqlNNP3R8JKE97pwewsDmZdcO5MEWV drkellyannfitz : Here are the talks from this year: https://redmonk.com/?series=monktoberfest-2024 blacksmithforlife : What does "hallway track" mean? zeanic : Cr...…
