The end of the HalfStack era Iโ€™ve never been so sad to have a day watching fun talks, have conversations with friends, all whilst munching tasty pizza and late night bagels.

Last weeks @halfstackconf.bsky.social was as awesome as it always is.

It was also the last in the capital for the foreseable.
