@tired scarab has a question:

.hassou

Guys, who did attend JDConf previously?
Is it worth it?

#

<@&987246399047479336> please have a look, thanks.

Lol I find this AI response funny

#

so theres basically two reasons to go to these things

#
  1. the presentations (which will be available online, but its useful to be there to ask questions)
#
  1. the "hallway track" where you can talk to people between and outside of presentations
#

#2 is what makes a conference good for me

#

and someone who has actually been will have to tell you about that

#

but for #1 you can skim through previous years talks

#

see if its stuff you are interested in

#

it seems like an entirely online event

#

so IMO pretty pointless

#

go to a real conference - 99% of the point is to talk to real people

#

and generally cost money

#

i mean - yes, but a livestreamed youtube video is kinda just that

tired scarab
#

hope I get the opportunity one day

cobalt dawn
#

decide if you want to watch it i guess, but no reason to think like "Is it worth it to attend this conference"

#

its a youtube video

tired scarab
#

but I mean, do you see the sessions worthy for a beginner-intermediate person?

cobalt dawn
#

watch it live, watch it later, watch it never, skim it, do whatever you want

cobalt dawn
#

and start watching them

#

that, as an activity, will be valuable

How much is 1000 Microsoft points worth?

How much is 1,000 Microsoft Points worth? There's no cash value, but 1,000 points roughly equals $1. That's about how much value your rewards have when you earn 1,000 points. Keep in mind that it might not equate to $1 exactly, especially for rewards like gift cards and charity donations.
