On: Why aren't there C conferences? (2018)

[jmconfuzeus]

Conferences aren't worth it.

You can learn anything for free on the Internet.

If you're going there for networking with others then stop. You can't network with blue haired women with daddy issues or men who never graduated from kindergarten.

If this is how you think academic conferences are, I can't help you. (Go ahead, go "learn" the forefront of research in a field of say mathematics "on the Internet".)

I was referring to tech conferences like PyCon and not academic ones.
