Um, I think they're coming for you, you know?

Yeah, so we started in 2020, right before the pandemic.

And this is actually our 10th config, because we've done international configs that are fast follows to the config in SF.

But the reason it started, we had basically user groups starting to pop up all around the world.

And then from there, as the user groups started to really gain momentum, we wanted some way to bring everyone together.

and at first we're like kicking around ideas like oh yeah maybe like a few hundred people we decided let's go big like 800 people and that sold out instantly so then from there we were planning to right afterwards like okay next time it's gonna be really big well it actually ended up being even bigger because the pandemic and so it was like this is gonna be a remote conference now oh my god

We got so lucky the first time because we were able to three weeks, I think, before the pandemic started in full in the US, the world shut down, had the chance to bring everyone together.

And I can't imagine what it would be if it was three weeks earlier.

Yeah.

Look around you.

No, I mean, I think that the weird thing right now is everyone is kind of putting down all the other roles.

So, like, you know, I'm seeing way too much of engineers saying, I don't know, either PM and designer, and the PM's like, I don't need the engineer or designer, and the designer's going, maybe I don't need the PM or the engineer.

Yeah.

And so like, why is that happening?

And I think that we're in a temporary phase of people really, you know, getting excited about what they can do with AI, but not yet realizing all the limitations that they have.

and hey uh and yeah so i think that there's um like it's truly exciting what you can do but also the value of a team is really important and i think we're we're here we're in a line what is is this for us for food yeah okay

I hope not.

Hopefully it lasts a little longer.

But yeah, so I think it's very lonely, the idea that you're just going to work alone on everything forever.

And I think that, you know, if you want to build scalable, real systems, explore broadly, build the right thing, not just like something fast, then I think it's really important to lean into design, not just from a visual and aesthetic standpoint,
