I miss PhillyETE. It was a singular conference. Once The Dark Times (COVID) hit, it struggled and has now disappeared.

Phila has no good tech conferences. One would think they would have many.

I miss the Philadelphia Emerging Tech conference. COVID and 2020 claims another victim, after a 5 year struggle.

🤨 Even Philly ETE seems to have passed. Nothing on their website. :(

Tag your things by systems to give visibility into the cost of operating specific features. Visibility is power. @workingdankoch #cloudjail #phillyete

Data is the backbone for making hard product decisions. Also a backbone is required--sometimes you just need to say "we're doing it" @workingdankoch #cloudjail #phillyete
