Tho there was a cast of dozens: sponsors, presenters, and organizers; the real one to thank for @NERDSummit #nerds18 is @rickhood. While most of us just did a few things, Rick kept the whole thing coordinated, organized, and moving forward. THANK YOU!!!

Ooh! @johnksawers told one of the Legendoj de la Zne Majstro — just not in those words… #nerds18 bierfaristo.com/kompaton.php
Everything is broken. But it's all OK. @johnksawers #nerds18
Not funny, but insightful recommendations on making the case for technology modernization to decisionmakers. h/t @jenn4good #nerds18
Living with Drupal 6 in 2018: Hilariously painful. A #nerds18 talk by @jenn4good
Fantastic questions and discussion about serverless infrastructure: What kinds of applications is it good for? What problems does it solve? Who is driving implementation? h/t @arelangi #nerds18
Serverless: Applications that run in stateless compute containers that are event-triggered, ephemeral, & fully managed by a third party. –@arelangi #nerds18
asked @arelangi "How do you have 'serverless platforms' without servers?" (Spoiler: There are actually servers.) #nerds18
is having an Opa-Opa IPA at the #nerds18 party (while boring the whole table with stories about planarians)
attended an interesting & provocative #nerds18 talk on AI & computer vision by @jerrynixon & @tripdubroot
Five AI applications: classification, anomaly detection, regression, clustering, & reinforcement. #nerds18
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I finally learned about something *really* useful (for baiting @philipbrewer) at #nerds18! github.com/netik/UTCMenuC…
"Unfortunately, most people will just use the thing for free, if they can, and damn the consequences."—@kantrn #nerds18
"It often isn't clear whether more or less structure will ultimately improve sustainability."—@kantrn #nerds18
"Production is single-threaded while consumption is fractal. It's easy to forget about the shoulders of the giants on which we stand."—@kantrn #nerds18
"The fundamental limiting factor on open-source[/free/libre] project sustainability is burnout."—@kantrn #nerds18
Current security (e.g. cryptography) mostly based on computation being expensive. Quantum-resistant algorithms needed to achieve security in post-quantum-computing world. —@jerrynixon #nerds18
