Back from @nordicjs.com, there are many, many impressions to process. It was my first time at @nordicjs.com. In fact, it was my first time in Stockholm or even Sweden. But it certainly won't be my last!

The conference and everything surrounding it was unique. So much attention to detail. At the entrance, you were greeted with live music, there was a ball pit, handcrafting tables, sweets, gifts, ... far too much to list everything.

And then there were the talks. Two days, one stage, excellent speakers, and a schedule that worked perfectly. In terms of topics, there was a wonderful mix of UI, compilers, AI, the Web and general industry topics.

My talk went great, despite my nerves about presenting it for the first time😅. I was happy, even though a couple demos didn't go exactly as planned, but that's what can happen with live LLM demos. LLMs, which by definition are non-deterministic😄.

The next day the afterparty started with "Code in the dark". 8 people have 15' to build a website from a screenshot. The catch: they write the html/css but they can never see a preview until the end. The energy in that room was pretty insane 😅
