I decided to spend most of the day at the NorDevCon tech conference. It’s difficult to know where to put your time sometimes, but I’m glad I went. NorDevCon is managed by Alex Scotton who I have worked with on some projects over last few years, and I get on well with him.
Some of the talks were too much of a technical niche for me; but I caught up on emails, wrote some notes and pottered about on the flutter app I’m building that will interface with the main laravel system; and the automation systems like n8n.
The main takeaways were:
1 – A talk by Onyi Anyado reinforced getting beyond fears, and executing with speed. Speed is the key thing in what I’m trying to do here, and I need to get a lot, lot faster than I am. Speed and consistency over valuable tasks
2 – A talk by Paul Grenyer reinforced the point that I am going to have to get used to delegating and not doing it all myself. I can do a lot with Claude + Cursor, but I’m still going to need to trust in other people to do the things that need to get done.
3 – It’s been worthwhile doing these LinkedIn posts. I’ve only been using LI for a few weeks properly, and my connections are pretty much only people I know in the real world, but I was somewhat shocked by how many people had seen that I was doing something with an AI startup. It’s clear my posts are coming up in peoples feeds and that’s a really good beginning of momentum.
(EDIT NEW) 4 – I forgot there was a really good mobile app talk, and I will expand on that in the future. But talked about app testing, kill switches, app feedback feature, phased rollout and crashlytics.
Now have to catch up with things, so that’s it for today.
