What I have found gripping
Creating things from scratch brings some excitement
Live coding also means making music using code
ASGI stands for Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface
Diversifying lineups requires building and nurturing diverse networks to reach as many potential speakers as possible
Quality coaching leads to engaging and memorable performances for new speakers
Creating the right conditions for folks to tell their stories on their own terms makes a difference too
Carving space for making contributions means trying different ways of doing things and finding what works in a given context

Featured quote
ASGI consists of two different components:
A protocol server, which terminates sockets and translates them into connections and per-connection event messages.
An application, which lives inside a protocol server, is called once per connection, and handles event messages as they happen, emitting its own event messages back when necessary. — ASGI Documentation
