I’m back from Software Craftsmanship North America. It was an excellent convention with some exceptional speakers, and was a tremendous bargain. Kudos to the organizers!
Ken Auer’s opening keynote was the only significant sour note in the entire day-long event. “Uncle” Bob Martin more than made up for it in his closing keynote - he stoked the fires and challenged us.
It was my great pleasure to meet Ward Cunningham. He reminded me of Steve Wozniak (whom I’ve never met) - he’s a Hacker in the best sense, still innovating after all these years. He’s clearly in the Ri stage; he can (and does) make his own rules.
To everyone I met, thank you for sharing your insights!
