Ask HN: What are some good developers conferences?

[nategraves]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, general purpose development conference? I went to WWDC and Google IO last year and both are (unsurprisingly) very platform specific. So, I'm hoping to find something more general; although a good language oriented conference would be fine too.

OSCON has been great, in my experience. There's a wide variety of stuff to jump into:

http://codeconf.com/ should be awesome

That does look like it could be really interesting
