Well that was different! Well done @infoq.com. The wooden organ is controlled by software running on Windows 98!

I loved this reflection from #QConLondon — it's a great reminder that real growth is about both what you learn and who you learn alongside.

Are conferences still worth it in 2025?

This video nails why, for the right kind of event, the answer is a resounding yes. The deep insights, the hallway conversations, the sense of community, and even the accidental insights you can’t plan for 💡

The lesson?

👉 Admitting you’re wrong isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength.

Creon’s refusal to change course destroyed him. Sophocles taught us that self-awareness and humility are the marks of true #leadership.

Creon forbids the burial of Polynices, defying divine laws. Antigone defies him, driven by moral duty. Warnings from prophets and loved ones fall on deaf ears. His pride blinds him, and tragedy strikes—lives are lost, including his own family.

As students in Greece in the 1990s, we had to study Sophocles's Antigone. It’s a timeless tale of power, pride, and the cost of refusing to admit one’s mistakes. Creon’s tragic flaw is his inability to see past his own decree.

Almost got professor Brooks to keynote QCon NY in 2014 but unfortunately he had a conflict that week. Unfortunately when I reached out again in 2022 it was too late 😔

How have I been organizing conferences for 13 years, attending them for two+ decades, and grabbing all the freebies—yet never knew this? 🤯

How did we even fly before #Flighty 😍

Took a ride in a #Waymo car, and wow—what an impressive leap forward in #AutonomousDriving. The ride felt safer, more efficient, and smoother than traditional ride-sharing 🚗🤖

Text-to-speech tech is 🤯 these days! I was listening to #InfoQ articles while driving (private beta), and it nailed acronyms & technical terms like a domain expert 🎧
