Folks have found it to be rewarding. It's definitely a good chance to be the person that recommends talks from Sandi Metz and thus looks wise. ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Andy</div><div><br></div><div>PS <a href="https://brightonruby.com">https://brightonruby.com</a> tickets are on sale at “early” price for another month and the lightning talk CFP is open for another couple of days.</div></body></html>
