👉🏻 High value, but middling experience apparently because they felt they hadn't prepared enough. Wished they'd attended first, so maybe means we didn't prepare them well enough.
💡 Could send links to prior hacknights so they feel welcome to come in advance.
❤️ Appreciated the survey.
🎉 Offered to be backup speaker again, but not sure who they are :)

Was a quiet night (10 ppl), but as alwats higher energy that I would've expected from our numbers!
As always, grateful to @aelcenganda for inviting ppl in off the street!
Also, felt really nice to end closer to 9pm, and get out to the pub after with a significant number of the attendees 🙌🏻 yay friend-making
