I wrote a post-mortem. Significantly less mortem compared to 2022 though. scattered-thoughts.net/writing/hytrad…
Get a ticket to watch @hytradboi tomorrow and discuss questions about wacky stuff in Convex! Or wait, the conference videos go up later—but this is a remote conference that's fun to participate in live, there are some real neat folks in the discussions.
