I love going to conferences. Learning interesting new stuff, getting to talk to lots of awesome new people. For a person like me this is amazing. Sadly there is one part of the experience that I often find troublesome. The website. Which is strange. This is one of the most important communication tools for the conference. And still most forget important details. In this post I want to list things that are important to me. Maybe you find it useful. Please comment if I forgot something.

If you know me, you know how much I love to work at bitcrowd. The people, the projects, the energy of the team. Because of that the next sentence will sound really surprising to you: I quit.

In the last couple of weeks I saw lots of discussions about working long hours and pulling all nighters. For example an interview from Marissa Mayer. Sadly most articles glorified working long hours. Or even worse: declaring that this shows passion and if you don’t do it, you do not belong into the startup world.

This week I gave another talk at the Rug::B. This time about InfluxDB.

In the last couple of months there have been lots of people talking about problems in OpenSource. And I think this tweet sums it up pretty well:

It is now a tradition for me to spent the last days of the year with fellow nerds on the chaos communication congress in Hamburg. And as last year I spent lots of time in the RubyTown assembly and wandering around talking to people.

Today I gave a small lightning talk at the Rug::B about Ruby. Basically its a long list of stuff you can do with ruby besides websites.
