Thanks so much to the @magnolia.boo photographer, Ramsey Chappell. 🥰
I love that she captured the audience being actively engaged. The ultimate flattery for real. 🥹

Good morning! Rocking my #magnoliaConf zip up hoodie today. 🥰 Perfectly cozy way to end an exhausting week. Plus we are wrapping up the book fair and calling kids down for their shopping sprees! Thanks so much to everyone who donated! 25 students are getting $20-25 of goodies!

I had such a fun chat with @chrisdemars.net of @tuxcare.bsky.social at #magnoliaConf!
Check out my little awkward self (and the shining twins costume I mentioned lol) 😁

More to follow, but we (@kayla.ooo and @richard.sween.dev ) want to thank everyone who was a part of #MagnoliaConf this year. It was so great bringing everyone to Jackson for a week of code, cauldrons, and cornbread.

Videos will be edited and posted to YouTube soon!

It’s almost go time! #MagnoliaConf #DeveloperCommunity

Selfie with Todd

I met @toddl.dev at #magnoliaconf and he is a shining example of why I say meet your heroes. 10 out of 10.

I thought a little more about why I love #magnoliaconf so much in such a short time.

Here's two reasons:

1. It's a chill, welcoming place, where I could be myself right away.

2. I go to conferences for inspiration, and the talks selected are filled with opportunities to find this.

Not even a full day at @magnolia.boo and this is already one of my favorite conferences.

Where else are you going to find @joshuakgoldberg.com dressed as a Tinky-Winky?

Seriously though, the speakers, attendees, organizers, MC... they're all wonderful humans.

I am a serious developer here to talk about serious TypeScript topics at @magnolia.boo. #MagnoliaConf
