C4[2]
There will be many C4 wrap-up blog posts, but Fraser Speirs hit the spirit of the conference very well:
“I thought C4 was incredibly reflective. If you imagine it as a smaller WWDC, it's really nothing like that. The amount of code shown on-screen is really quite small, and the conversation is really about the art, craft, business, science and lifestyle of Mac development.”
I had a great time at C4. As always I met a bunch of new folks and caught up with everyone I hadn't seen since WWDC or the previous C4. It was especially wonderful to hear the positive feedback about Core Intuition in person. Thanks!
I also participated from the stage, as Wolf called me up to be on Saturday night's panel literally minutes before it started. I have a feeling I came off as a bit of an oddball — I managed to shrug off software pirates, decry moving away from Subversion, suggest a "crap" label for the App Store, and actually recommend Dreamhost — but I hope there was value in it for attendees, even if it was less exciting than last year's panel. Wil Shipley did a great job guiding questions for the panel.
