We just wrapped up two days at DeveloperWeek in Oakland. My first time there and our first time sponsoring. I had a wonderfully broad range of conversations with all kinds of interesting and gracious people from various corners of the industry and world. The show had the feeling of a technology bazaar. Mostly in a good way.

Jim gave a super fun talk about behavioral economics and chat bots in a way only he can. (Check out his recent podcast for some of these ideas).

So many great conversations. 428 to be exact. Beer and wine time? Yes, please.

The other unexpected and entirely wonderful thing was spending a couple of days in Old Oakland. Living across the bridge in SF, I rarely spend more than a few hours for a meeting or event in Oakland. Old Oakland's people, food and neighborhood appeal is strong. Shout outs to Swan's Market, Coloso Coffee, Blue Bottle and Sláinte a short stroll away. You kept us caffeinated and well fed.
