MagnoliaConf (OCT 21-23!) @magnolia.boo · 11d

Other conferences make sponsors blend into the background. We let you rise from the digital graveyard and terrorize attendees with your APIs. Be the sponsor that haunts their GitHub commits forever. 👻

posting this here because I feel like we’re all buddies

if you want to come to @magnolia.boo and you’ve been laid off or are otherwise unemployed or just need some help, holler at me or @richard.sween.dev.

as long as you can make it to Jackson, we don’t want the cost of tickets to be a barrier 💙

SquiggleConf 2025 was an absolute, incredible blast. We had a wonderful time learning with you all. A HUGE "thank you!" to all our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers for making this a wonderful experience.

We can't wait to see you in Spring 2027. 💙

Didn't even manage to hold off long enough to take a photo. Maybe I need to work on my patience in this coming year.

I feel like em dashes get all the hate when we're picking on AI-generated content, but "it's not just X, it's Y" is always the one that sticks out like a sore thumb to me

Shout out to the guy who put these stickers on all the gas pumps at the local grocery store

A photo of a gas pump nozzle in a car, refueling. The nozzle handle has a bright red sticker on it that says "FOR RECTAL USE ONLY" with an icon of a pair of shorts. The sticker has been placed immediately above where the text "Improper use may cause a hazardous condition. Refer to posted warnings" is printed on the handle.

Yes I DO think I'm hilarious, thank you for asking

Well damn, if I knew all I had to do was "sudo rm -rf congestion" this could have been a lot easier.
