assorted thoughts on vibe camp (indulging this itch, will likely update over time):

i hadn't originally wanted to go, but a friend gave me the push i needed i went in with no plan but "meet as many twitter mutuals as possible" and seek out good vibes. success! didn't even look at the schedule until i was already there. as a result i felt no event fomo.

i slept approx 5 hours the entire weekend (partly bc of cabin being not great noise-wise and partly bc i wanted to keep hanging out) spent most of my time wandering around the site or flopped at the tea house and saying hello to whomever i ran into

my main intention beyond meeting people was to form and bridge connections, so i tried to do intros when possible + catch as many vibe reads as i could i ended up in almost no didactic conversations or arguments. all the longer chats i had felt mutually supportive and equitable.

maybe this is my past experience with NYC twitter meetups + earlier nerd convention experience, but there were almost no vibe camp surprises besides: - 90% of attendees were software developers - the avg level of warmth and social adeptness was higher than i expected
