I was in San Francisco for time for GitHub Universe, and it was a blast! This is my FIFTH GitHub Universe (2020, 2021, 2022, 2024) and the most involved I’ve been in one yet.

I did a little meta round-up vlog about it while also recapping my newsletter if you want to see some behind-the-scenes.

It was a really good time podcasting and keynoting and building keyboards (which, btw, you can buy one of the exclusive kits if you want), being a part of the Virtual Universe recaps and press briefings, and it was also so much work pulling everything together. If you watch the final keynote of the event, though I was not in it… I was secretly in it because I helped record sound effects for the flying plushies, ha!

I’m always humbled to see how hard everyone works at this event, and so happy to be a part of it. I was in town for a long time this time around for keynote prep, and I’m proud that we were able to pull together such a successful event.

Here’s a video playlist of recaps and talks, if you’d like to see!
