mattslight · on Sept 30, 2011

  * Scribbled entrance notices being thrashed out five minutes before first talker due to speak
  * Orderly British queue forming for mammoth order of pizza and beer (red stripe went down well)
  * Pre talk banter on why anybody still using PHP needs to exorcise the demon, install RVM and start using Ruby with HAML, SASS and Coffeescript.
  * @kzhu from Mint Digital when asked “What’s your market size? Surely only everybody has one fridge”, replying “everybody”
  * @giniji for hacking together SWYM.me, a buggy startup the day before and knowing that his search strings were chopping off the first characters. Uby on Rails.
  * @Harjeet for encouraging all hackers to apply well for YC and take the pilgrimage to Mountain View
  * Many a wannabe CEO on the prowl for the elusive CTO
  * Something special is happening in the East End of London right now. Where it will take us. Who knows.
