Loved the conference too but unfortunately missed those two talks. But I do a agree that a lot of the added value in the conference was about subjects that go beyond the technical talks.

I enjoyed the focus on sustainability and actually changed some of my talks as a result of that focus. While I was very familiar with the subjects of accessibility I think it's a subject that just doesn't get its due attention and putting it on the main stage was a wonderful insight!

I very much enjoyed the interaction with people both in the conference floor, the sessions and parties. I'm so sorry I didn't do a blind ignite. It's something I hope to fix the next time around. It was hilarious.

Thank you for your kind words. I will write separate posts on these talks.

Sustainability interests me too. If I make a healer build run faster, it will save a tiny portion of electricity. Multiplied by number of future runs, it is still something

In my talks I often talk about the CI/CD cycle of death. Where you have a bug in production and need to add a log. Then you do the whole PR, CI, CD process only to find out you need still more information and need to go through that whole process all over again.

The energy/sustainability aspect of this was an angle I didn't even raise. This helps drive the point further.

So what are the ways to fix this problem? Run live with some flight recorder?

You totally set me up for this ;-)

I'm the developer advocate for Lightrun. It lets you securely inject logs, snapshots (non-breaking breakpoints) and metrics into live production. You can literally debug production.
