## What was it like?

- Cool to meet new people with a range of expertise in both science domains and software development/engineering.
- Even with 8 years of software experience, still experienced **Imposter Syndrome**, especially meeting the developers I look up to, but everyone were very friendly and inclusive, no matter what your level of expertise.
- It was very fun at the end of the conference days with very punny lightning talks.
- Got lots of stickers!!! AND Trading cards!!
- The talks are both very technical and domain specific, but also were about open source community buildings.
- The tutorials were very insightful and cool.
- Wished I stayed for sprinting days! Got to hack on a feature a little bit with two of the core xarray dev!
