I‘m thinking about organising a conference „The Last Coder“ - in reference to the novel trilogy „The Last Policeman“. It would, of course, focus on coding without GenAI; would take place sometime between April and June ‘27 in my favourite conference location, which is about 50 km from Frankfurt. Max 60 people - or what the location can currently accommodate. Anyone interested in co-organising such an event? #TheLastCoder

There seems to be a novel "The Last Coder" by some Winter, D.C. This can only be GenAI generated, right? https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0GR4YS6XW

THE LAST CODER Conference: There's only one date available during the period that would work for me: Tursday May 13 - Saturday May 15 2027. It's directly before Whitsunday, which might be good or bad. Before I reserve it, I'd love to know if something during these days (in over a year!) makes it impossible for folks from target groups to not come? #TheLastCoder

@jlink@det.social In Rückersbach? I would be interested in participating, but unfortunately I have no time to help organise.

@jlink@det.social @sf105@mastodonapp.uk I *love* the Last Policeman trilogy. Read them once, then read them all to Dawn. Finished the last book while she was driving. I sobbed. Your implied analogy is spot on. I’ll chip in to the extent of sending copies of the first book (paper or electronic) to all registrants.
