Over at rhettsmith.com the “kickback” has begun. He really doesn’t like one of the articles in the T4G assertions document, which has been placed online unofficially.

The conference is one of the most unique conferences that I have ever attended in that it seems less like a conference and more like a big reunion. Granted most of the attendees do not know each other personally, but it feels like we are all distant cousins. You sense a connection, a... Read more
