Yesterday I attended unKonf in Mannheim, which since my first visit in 2016 is among my favorite events of the year: a web development centered unconference that attracts a community of very friendly, curious and open-minded people. I always leave with a lot of renewed enthusiasm for my vocation (and I'm deliberatly not chosing the word job or even profession here). Quite a few similar events that used to be a fixpoint in my calendar did not survive the pandemic, which is all the more reason to take the advice that Thijs Feryn gave during the keynote session and deliberatly break out of the corporate mold every once in a while to be where the action is. I am very happy that Stefan Hochdörfer announced another edition for 2025. I'll be there.
