Being part of the Web Rebels conference organizers is an amazing learning experience. I get to learn so many things that I a been hating with a genuine passion for years. I am not very good at organizing my finances, I have never understood accounting and I most certainly have not once been able to deliver an expense report correctly. Therefor it is only natural that these are some of the things I do as “the guy who does the boring stuff” for the Web Rebels Conference!
Too many people try to change their surroundings and feel miserable while doing it. If you’re not happy with something, either suck it up or move on! There’s nothing in the human rights about the right to always feel great at work. If you’re not, it is up to you to change your situation. The chances that something will make you feel different in a while are slim. Nobody is going to look at your situation and sort things out.
I have had the privilege of getting to put on a conference about one of the things that I love: web development. It was pure coincidence that I ended up here. I am not a very active community member and I usually shy away from additional work. What is especially weird is that I ended up being the guy doing the finance and accounting stuff!
Being at the venue on day one of the Web Rebels Conference seeing that things are actually running quite well is an amazing feeling.
I just wanted to repeat my thanks for inviting me to Web Rebels. It was a
fantastic event and was easily my favorite conference to have spoken at
this year
The first ever Web Rebels conference is over and it was absolutely fucking amazing. Everything went as we’d hoped and Oslo was so kind as to present itself at it’s finest.
I loved every minute of organizing this event. The attendees and speakers where inspiring, funny, kind and just amazing people.
