"Damn, I didn't even know startups in India are solving for problems like these. This was so cool!"
"Never thought CTOs actually sit down and nerd-talk like this"
DMs/Inbox/Mails/Whatsapp overflowing with messages like this, and it makes me so happy!
Conversation
Actually I do feel a bit sorry for folks who started out engineering careers just before pandemic, or after it
Because a lot of these conversations, of Indian tech companies doing serious innovation, open sourcing projects, CTOs nerd talking did actually happen in conferences

Ofcourse there have been in the past (and even now restarting) conferences which are just a way to blow employer-sponsored Goa trip budgets and all.
But if you knew they right ones to attend to, there were a whole bunch of great people to hang out with at great conferences.

Example from the mobile-focussed confs I would personally always attend (mostly also speak at), like by
> Flipkart open sourced Swifty, something like Retrofit for Swift
> Flipkart open sourced Proteus, json-based server-driven layout engine for Android

Example from, (also by ) , I think 2018
> literally taught JWTs in fashion that it could have been a CS Harvard lecture
> I had a talk on rolling your own SSO/Oauth right after that where I went hard on JWTs for 'inability to invalidate'

We had to do a combined QA session for both talks, to clarify this isn't a JWT vs server tokens debate 😂
BFFs can really benefit from JWT for the client<>edge layer. But SSO servers need invalidation powers.

Remembering all of this because, of all the messages I have gotten from younger early-career engineers and students after having seen recent episodes of #ScalerPod
Feels a bit sad realising what the pandemic snatched away from them.

Just to give you an idea of the quality of talks at some of the conferences that have taken place - my favourite is this by
This is AN ABSOLUTELY MASTERCLASS on mutable state, synchronization and race conditions on JVM!
ik, not as enriching as attending it live, yet
Hasgeek TV, devoxx, GOTO conferences, InfoQ & such YT channels,
prolly even company specific talks on issue dissections or infra & architecture strategies
are good ways to explore contents of such talks/confs.

It still missed out on the discussions and networking that happens off stage.
And I don't mean the influencer/marketing type of networking, but finding other people working different tech stacks, discovering how others are solving the same problem as you, all that's invaluable

We are returning as in person conference first time since 2019. We are very excited.
Save the dates: 18th-19th November 2022.
