Thread by @markadamfoster

Home tonight after my first #microconf (starter edition). I've been wanting to go for about 4 years now, finally happened this year with a scholarship (thanks @Stripe!) A quick thread 👇

I’ve never been in a place like that before. Every single person was warm, interesting, easy to talk to, and with so many similar interests and goals. I’m thoroughly an introvert… and yes, I still got wiped out after talking to people for 2.5 days straight 😬 but sooo worth it.

Being in a room full of brilliant people, all with a similar ethos about doing meaningful independent work 🛠- hard to explain how powerful that was.

I went with a couple of very specific questions I’d been wrestling with. The advice I got from @patio11, @csallen and @taylorbell was alone worth the time and expense of getting there 🙌

💯 Killer speakers
📋 Well organized

I was ready to come home and see the family, and now I’m ready to get back next year (growth edition? 🤞)

Thanks to @MicroConf , @SingleFounder , @robwalling , @Castro4prsdnt, and the dozens of new people I met.

(with a special shout out to @adamlogic who let me crash in his room, split the bill to save a few bucks, and drew me further out of my introvert shell 🐢)
