My heart is overflowing with a joy that I honestly haven't felt in a long time. Thank you so much Josh and Kari for the work, stress, and time you put in to make @DeepDishSwift happen for all of us.
The presentations gave me new perspectives and knowledge.
I got to see a new city, meet new friends, reconnect with old friends, spend time with people I've only briefly interacted with, and put a face to people with cartoon avatars 😉.
Also several people came up to me and thanked me and the other organizers for running @iosdevhappyhour . It truly meant a lot to me and I really appreciated it.
On the last night when I was tricked into closing down the bar someone (whose name I now know but I won't call them out) came up to me and told me that the reason he was there at the conference was because IDHH drew him into the community initially. That just melted my heart!
If you missed hearing from @swiftandtips at the March @iosdevhappyhour event or if you've been wanting to hear it again (and why wouldn't you?) then it's your lucky day!
Big thanks to Pitt for agreeing to share some of his knowledge about Swift Macros with us.
It used to be SO EASY to find people that had just landed their first iOS job. We've had so many great speakers at iOS Dev Happy Hour because of that.
It is now SO HARD to find them. If you know of any please give me a heads up and I'll reach out to them to see if they're interested in sharing their stories.
Thanks to everyone who joined us at @iosdevhappyhour today. We got to hear a talk from @refactoredd about the launch of his app @bridges and his journey in learning iOS development.
