Insights from ShipItCon 2024
Another year, another ShipItCon! I’ve talked already on the previous instances of the conference. To keep things short, it’s an annual conference based in Dublin that works around the idea of releasing software. Because it’s very open-ended topic that can be approached from lots of angles, and it’s something different from the more stereotypical “conference around a technology”, the talks are quite varied.

It’s this time of the year again, and another ShipItCon review is due!

I think it’s quite impressive, given the short amount of time since announcing it and being the first edition, that was so well organized. The venue was very good (and fairly unusual for a tech conference), and all the usual things that are easy to take as granted (food, space, projector, sound, etc) work like clockwork. Kudos to the organizers. The conference was… Read More
