I'm not mad at all! I'm sending this to my wife, redesign in progress.

@robocell This is awesome, will it be the ocarina of time?

I built a retro gaming system to introduce my son to Zelda and goldeneye. He also wanted to play the original Mario's.

@DThompsonDev I gave a referral to someone I met at cyc.

@V12owner This is huge, congrats! I'm clearing my schedule to tune in.

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

Opened my email today and saw my man @V12owner is hosting an AI Agent Webinar for @wgu !

We met at @CommitYourCode ‘24, not at the conference, but in line for a cheesesteak. Two years later, he’s got his degree on the wall and is hosting webinars for WGU.

Congrats, Kelvin!

@ShawnDevDedalus Those were some of my favorite books. The movies and series do not disappoint!

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

@CommitYourCode is more than your typical conference. It’s about bringing people together.
Sometimes that’s through a talk, sometimes a hallway conversation, and sometimes it’s on a pickleball court. 😂🏓
The conference brings people together. The community keeps them together.

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

When I’m talking to someone well-known or in a leadership position, I become hyper-aware of their time, especially at conferences when others are waiting. Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually cutting good conversations short because I’m too worried about being respectful.

I often forget to take pictures when I’m in the moment, but when I remember, Noah Harris never misses a chance to photobomb. 😂

Great meeting Veronika and Eric, my fellow New Jerseyan, and reconnecting with Tobi!

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

@DThompsonDev You'll see me there, again.

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

@RobotProxyWar I see you're a man of exquisite taste. I have the shield plus too.

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

@robocell @CommitYourCode Thank you for taking the time. This is going to be exciting.

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

I normally don’t text myself notes after a conversation… unless I’m talking to @robocell.
Caught him at @CommitYourCode for a quick chat and walked away feeling like he handed me the winning playbook on a silver platter.
I can’t wait to message him in 6 months with the results.

Great catching up with @dgarcia_appdev at @CommitYourCode, the only person to find my hidden Easter egg, which led to an important lesson about React’s useEffect. Thanks for the insight and confidence boost!

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

Huge thanks to the people behind @CommitYourCode and DSD. They’ve definitely earned those gray hairs 😂
I’ve been to CYC all 3 years, but this was by far the most impactful.
I went in with a specific goal and accomplished it, but the unexpected conversations were the highlight!

[DJ Neill @devsixstrings]

Before we finished unpacking! 👀

[Danny Thompson @DThompsonDev]

Folks... I guess CYC27 is confirmed because of the amazing crew at @unkeydev !

Only one day until the Commit Your Code Conference, and I just passed the final class of my first term at WGU!

Now I can head to Dallas with school off my mind, enjoy the conference, and maybe share some exciting news soon. 👀
