Øredev 2026

People are just so damn nice! I maintained a better balance than previous years, and at the same time the whole conference felt like more and even slightly better than recent years. More fun discussions, less nervousness before interviews, time to attend some talks, even more talks on my watch list when the videos come out, lots of good coffee … all the usual. Plus: surprisingly decent sleep for being me and hotels! I have some little ideas for things I can improve or add for the future, but I think my main failure this year was that I came back home with slightly more stickers than I intended. Overall nice changes to the conference hall meant fewer places where dropping off stickers felt natural, and so I ended up doing less of it than I had intended. Beginner mistake, I know.
