Like every time after a conference I feel the need to recharge and resume all the commitments put on hold and I end up letting too much time pass for it to make sense to publish an article about my experience.

This year however I decided to embrace the approach of not waiting to have something perfect, so I decided to publish an article with all the Mastodon posts related to my experience in Dublin. Many of the people I met and the experiences I had are missing but the main ones are there.

I could however update this article with some of my thoughts on the conference.
