Yeah.

Yeah.

That was one of my favorite experiences where... Somebody asked in the room, it's like, okay, who has basically written sort of low-level internals for hardware? And every goddamn hand goes up to the room, except I'm looking around like, yeah, man, I don't do that. No, I was not very good at this. So one of these things is very much not like the other.

Yikes. That was, that's poor.

Yikes. That was, that's poor.

Do we have to talk about this? Well, what I'll say is that I've certainly learned from organizing a conference. Because 100%, when people come up to you with feedback during the event, you're like, not now, man. Just not now. Wait, I'm happy to hear it after the event. So I will say, in my defense, that is a much more important thing.

And it happens every time, right?

You know, like I'm in favor because, again, you know, it really just depends on sort of what, you know, we use the, you know, Christensen notion of jobs to be done a lot at Redmonk. And, you know, if the job that you're trying to try to sort of tackle is, hey, I want to get, you know, essentially content and messaging and lessons learned and so on out.

Um, you know, virtual events, a great way to do that. Right. And, you know, I can say like, so I, I walk a lot for, uh, just for, for health and so on reasons. And one of the, one of the things I do all the time is. okay, you know, I don't have time necessarily sit down and watch this talk, but I will pull them down and just listen to them while I'm walking around. Right.

Right.

And, um, you know, so it's, it's a great way of sort of, um, you know, sort of maximizing, you know, sort of the availability. Um, now again, it's all trade-offs, like it depends on what you're trying to accomplish, but you know, I'm, I'm, you know, like, I think if it's, For me, it's either sort of online, small and in-person, or huge.

And those are the types of events at this point, at least for me, speaking just for myself. Those are the ones that I'm likeliest to attend. Right.

Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing I talked to the organizer to, you know, sort of a bunch of events that were kind of in the mid sort of size. So, you know, a thousand North, a thousand people sort of less than, three or four, and she was saying it's almost impossible to pull them off. Because the selling part, in terms of what you get out of it, small intimate conferences are easy to understand.
