I don’t remember a single line of code from FFConf 2024.

Perhaps Mike Hall included a short nod when talking about micro-optimisations in for loops, but that was about it. This conference was and is about so much more than code. The talks focused on themes like:

  • Finding purpose in our work
  • Building and scaling inclusive communities
  • Critically thinking about tech and AI
  • Handling death online more respectfully
  • Self-reflecting and communicating more effectively

It was the annual community gathering for like-minded, web-loving people. It was a space to reflect on our industry and ourselves. It was an opportunity to catch up with online friends and make new ones. It was a balm for the soul.

I don’t remember a single line of code from FFConf—and that’s a feature, not a bug.

Here are a few snaps:
