Grand Ballroom A
You Have the Empathy of a Goat: Documenting for the User
Are you the sort of developer who makes the user want to headbutt the computer or hop happily sideways? Documentation is often one of the least favorite activities of a developer, and it’s probably always going to suck for some people.

Junior Ballroom C
From no OSS experience to the core team in 15 minutes a day

My Meta Moments
Meta-programming is alluring. To write code that writes more code sounds like the peak of efficiency, but learning it is filled with infinite loops and confusing stack traces. It is a place with lots of hair pulling
