Welcome to #monktoberfest in Portland, Maine; this is my favorite conference. @sogrady and the rest of the RedMonk crew work miracles to make this one of the best conference experiences on the planet.
Kicking us off is @juliaferraioli and @amcasari to tell us "Remember how we broke the internet?"
(Speaking of, auto-captioning on the lasttweetinaws.com Twitter threading client was broken. Quick fix from iPad later, and we're back in business.)

A list of Open Source requirements. I'm sure that nobody will object here...
(Apologies for dropping off. Minor crisis needed dealing with.)
And now @MissAmaraKay's "My Year of No, and the growth it inspired". What an awesome title. #monktoberfest
"This is the first talk I've ever done where I get up and talk about my feelings. If I fail at tech demos, that's what happens, but if I fail at talking about my feelings what does that really say about me?"
PREACH.
PREACH.
I adore the "this talk is not a subtweet" disclaimer.
I adore that she begins with a "this talk is not a subtweet about my current or former coworkers" disclaimer.
It's extremely hard to say no; if you don't learn to do it you'll absolutely destroy yourself trying to live up to your perception of others' expectations of you.
"Establish your goals and boundaries." YES. Otherwise other people will establish them for you, and do a remarkably poor job of it.
I am absolutely here for this talk starting off by taking a Twitter jackhole for a drag.
(I'm not actually sure whether or not he's a jackhole, but that tweet is absolutely a trash take.)
The responses to the tweet set the tone of this talk.
The rest of this talk is about why @JoeEmison based his company in Ohio. I'd always assumed it was proximity to AWS's us-east-2.
"This is not what we did. This is what I'd do if I had to do it again."
"This is not what we did. This is what I'd do if I had to do it again."
WHICH PORTLAND, JOE?!

Hmm. There may well be some important context missing from the slide earlier.
I rescind my earlier Reactionary Hot Take.

Every speaker's nightmare: getting upstaged by a generational moment.
