I‘m thinking about organising a conference „The Last Coder“ - in reference to the novel trilogy „The Last Policeman“. It would, of course, focus on coding without GenAI; would take place sometime between April and June ‘27 in my favourite conference location, which is about 50 km from Frankfurt. Max 60 people - or what the location can currently accommodate.
Anyone interested in co-organising such an event?

@jlink @sf105 I *love* the Last Policeman trilogy. Read them once, then read them all to Dawn. Finished the last book while she was driving. I sobbed.

Your implied analogy is spot on. I’ll chip in to the extent of sending copies of the first book (paper or electronic) to all registrants.

@marick @sf105 That’s a great idea. You could also do an (online) reading of your favourite part(s) during the event.

@jlink @sf105 Could record some excerpt from the book at hits what (I assume) is the theme of the conference. That would be better than doing it during the event, because it might resonate with people, encourage them to come.

Hmm….
