I am on a fight back from Austin. On my trip I got to meet dozens of happy users, answer customer support questions in person, hang out with my co-workers in a non-work setting, meet with a number of company founders and brainstorm on ways to make our products better, and chill out with some really interesting folks from Skype.

So no, it did not suck.

It's ironic that a journalist is complaining about a lack of developer attendance. And I appreciate that the web has a growing and vibrant culture. There are whole categories of jobs that didn't exist when I went a few years ago. I had a great time, the more the merrier!
