devconf’s log #5 – Sad it’s over, stoked over chats, and the 25h trek home

Continued from devconf’s log #4 – “Was zum Geier?”, lean coffee, and rain it’s time to close the curtains Sad smile and start the countdown to next year Smile 

Before I share the final pictures from the event, I’d like to THANK the hosts (Robert and Candice) for a phenomenal event and the speakers & attendees for great sessions and more importantly great discussions. Let’s keep the awesome chats going!

The event in Cape Town was my personal favourite for a number of reasons:

  • The day started with an energetic Lean Coffee event – missed the one in Johannesburg as I was in Zombie mode Alien
  • It was a smaller and cozier event – only three sessions to chose from at a time Thumbs up
  • We had a lot more discussions on DevOps and VSTS in the hallways Smile 
  • We brought the rain to drought-stricken Cape Town Open-mouthed smile

OK, here are a few more pictures:

Sorry for the delay in this final post … the 25 hour trek (journey) from Cape Town to Vancouver really took it out of me.
