@mitchellh
Gave an impromptu lightning talk yesterday at Systems Distributed titled: "Making a Terminal Emulator Really, Really Fast " Believe it or not this is also my first in-person public speaking since before 2020. Felt good to be back and just talking about tech for tech's sake.

Systems Distributed is quite possibly the best technical conference I’ve ever been to. The density of interesting talks and friendly, smart, systems people is unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off my funemployment.

Alex Sarkesian

Very high quality speakers. I appreciated the high context discussions as well, that likely couldn't happen at a more general software engineering conference.

Natalie Vais
@natalievais
Highlights from Systems Distributed last week in NYC. Truly an incredible group of people working on databases, programming languages, compilers, testing, cryptography etc all in one place.

Amazing speakers - so many authors I've read and followed over many years in one place. Loved the mix of content - "systems" in many senses but all felt really useful and thought provoking - and hearing from a diverse set of speakers and attendees.
