I wouldn’t tell anyone if I’d been to @rustforgeconf.com but there would be signs

Sometimes, it's okay to read the comments. This came in as a private message yesterday.

Screenshot from an BlueSky private message with the sender hidden. Text reads: "Hey Tim, just wanted to say congrats again on running the conference. I know how much work these things are behind the scenes and pulling off your first conference is a massive deal, so yeah, congratulations! I really enjoyed the conf and not just because I wasn't jet lagged :-) It ran incredibly smoothly, having the co-working days was great, the food was really good, and the talks were great - not just good talks, but the overall curation was really good. All in all, it was one of the best conferences I've attended - like not just good for a first conference or good for a conference in NZ, but just good, full stop. Hope you're managing to get a little rest and recovery now :-)"

Any guesses about which talk is causing this spike?

Screenshot from YouTube Studio within the Rust Forge channel. A line graph representing time spent at each minute watched of the whole video, showing a large spike at 1/3rd of its duration.

Rust Forge is over! We miss you already :( .. out of curiosity, would you be interested in coming back next year?

People taking big bets is awesome. Come and see how Zoo is planning on changing entire industries.

I'm very excited to be talking at @rustforgeconf.bsky.social in NZ this August! I'll be telling the story of how Zoo.dev built our CAD app in Rust, and why that was a good idea for our little startup. Check out the lineup at rustforgeconf.com/talks
