Had such a great time at #monkigras meeting and seeing many of you. Safe travels to wherever you are going and see you again at #monktoberfest!!! 🍻

When a child shows trust in their parent, it can be profound. "When your kid tells you something, listen to what they say. Don't assume your lived experience is theirs." - @azimman.bsky.social #monkigras

It is so inhuman to take what other people need. I think there are a lot of people with a “wendigo spirit” in power right now. Great talk on resilience in communities by @kimmykimkimber.bsky.social and @wiredferret.bsky.social #monkigras

I’ve never played it but I have friends who have — love @azimman.bsky.social using Silksong as an allegory for describing the experience as a cis parent raising a trans child. #monkigras

An actual prepper talk with Chad Metcalf talking about the US variety of the movement. "Prepping is about personal agency".

“We can have a future where every student and teacher is supported by cognitive aids built for their benefit and growth. Not for exploitation and surveillance.” Really appreciate the optimism in this talk, @daniloc.xyz, admittedly I’ve been quite pessimistic lately. #monkigras

Never thought about how “science fiction” a toilet is — you have a magic bowl, press a button, and whatever you need to get rid of is just… gone 🤣 @daniloc.xyz #monkigras

🧀🧀🧀🧀 @rstephens.me’s face when it was announced that there will be a cheese mountain at #monkigras

For folks at #Monkigras curious about @commonhaus.org, I recorded a @redmonk.com MonkCast w @ebullient.dev: redmonk.com/blog/2024/11...

Great talk from IBM’s @hollycummins.com and @sannegrinovero.bsky.social on preparing to keep open source alive and well during the age of vibe coding #monkigras

Monki Gras 2026 Here I come! This is probably the most nervous for a talk I’ve been in a long time. But I’m so excited to give it and there’s no other conference I could possibly give this talk at

Wow. @hazelweakly.me sharing a deeply personal story about crafting and reinventing her outlook on life. #monkigras

Thank you @posthog.com for sponsoring the DELICIOUS Turkish lunch at #monkigras!

Immigration and trans rights. Everything is super fucked up and trans people are increasingly having to become legal experts. @lizthegrey.com on, for example, what it means to be a refugee or stateless person. Important talk at #monkigras. The UK EHRC ruling is also super messed up.

The #monkigras captioning (Breeze Translate) does a brilliant job of correctly handling technical terms and accents! The only thing it’s struggled with is the name of this conference. So far, we’ve seen MonkeyGraha, MonkeyGrawer, Monkey gras (so close!), Monkey graph, and monkey gra. 😁

You will not forget to code because you used an LLM to generate some of it. Acquiring a skill is different to retaining it - @suesmith.lol #monkigras

Centering GMT on the world means time "caught colonialism from its humans" - @ashley.rolfmore.com Lmao what a way to say it! #monkigras

Trust keeps capitalism running… hint hint. We always make incorrect assumptions about the world when we write code. We must design for safe failure… esp in the context of AI! @ashley.rolfmore.com #monkigras

with my #monkigras people in spirit, if not in person, as my person is currently in the detroit sky club rather than london

Thank you @gitlab.com for the awesome coffee! #monkigras

“Models will get better at lots of things, but you can make individuals more powerful. Software can help bring out the inner world that lives within us.” Thanks for a great talk @anthrocypher.bsky.social! #monkigras

Bloody hell this talk is already great. @lauratacho.com crushing it, arguing and explaining how our sense of wonder can blind us to the realities of the situation. #monkigras is go.

I’m at #monkigras! The first talk from @lauratacho.com gives us the tools to prepare us for the onslaught of #AI info coming our way. Remain skeptical of the hype and storytelling.

I would have loved to have worn this

Calvin and Hobbes doesn’t get enough love for having very realistic parents who love their son but also are just constantly like for fucks sake. Plus they both look like they listen to podcasts. They are very podcast coded.

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

Every single word of this write up is the truth and this entire article deserves to be read.
