Great crowd and some awesome ideas floating around.  It is awe-inspiring to watch allIMG_20180203_121513 these developers at work on different projects at once.  I had a colleague from another vendor take a trip down memory lane and just how much the tech space has changed.  We both worked for internet startups in the early 90’s during the beginning of the Internet.  Things have come a long way.  To get this many developers in one spot all working on problems and solutions that are for all different walks of life, things have certainly advanced.

There is still plenty of time and I’m sure there are plenty of problems out there that need solutions.
