Aurora Scharff
well on the road to nextjs con I'm on the road again myself here at ship all airport here in Amsterdam going to sanity's all hands get together for 2024 which is excellent it's going to be so many people there that I don't even know who they are sanity's grown so much in the last 12 months but I've got plenty of time in transit today to edit two videos two interviews that have filmed recently one with cap from sanity who'll also be on stage with me at next sharc
and another with Aurora who I met at react earlier this year and is all over the conference speaking circuit and we'll also be at next jcom this year too so like I said plenty of time in airplanes to do nothing other than Video Edit and post those once I'm on reliable Wi-Fi hopefully this evening but uh hopefully we'll record some content from Spain as well and uh we'll see you in a couple of weeks at next year com got a party coming up got the run the morning before got the hecka on the day before
as well so much going on at next year's conf so have to get ready I have to finish writing my own talk but uh I'll see you there hey Cat how you going hey good um we've never actually met have we and I we're gonna see each other in a few weeks we're gonna see you never met yeah strange both for a while I feel like I get this comment and I reckon you probably get the same is how does it feel when someone says oh you're like the face of Sanity I'm sure you've had comments like that before well yeah like
the face of Sanity or I learned so much from you or you're the reason why I started using sanity and I'm like little old me like what and like I'm just the face in front of a bunch of Engineers that are doing incredible stuff I feel the same like it's like standing on the shoulders of giants a lot of times and I think I I gave a presentation at all hands here a few weeks ago and like wanted to highlight you know the conversations that I've been having with uh Partners or with you know other developers and
things but then sort of linking it back to packages that have been developed or new features that have been made and it's like because engineering gave us this thing I was able to have this conversation or we're able to you know capitalize on this opportunity and uh yeah like it doesn't it doesn't happen just because we're out here on camera it happens because those packages are built so that we can then show them off so uh I it's really cool to um be able to emphasize that back to the people that create the things that we get to be the face of we're just disseminating everybody else's intelligent work down to YouTube videos and tweets so you just
got done being the face of laravel there for a little bit that that was quite a interesting time I imagine cuz like that's a different Community but then um that was really cool to see your face all over that as well I don't know um in the moment since like do you have like a a reflection on that week because you sort of blew up there for a a hot minute the Lille Community is unreal like I had so much fun so much fun at that conference they're just some of the
nicest people they just they want to build cool things and they're excited for their friends to build cool things like everyone's very like motivating and encouraging over there um I don't I don't build with laravel and so I don't have a lot to like like contribute technically with them but we all care about community and that is what my talk was on over at LaRon was building your village and so I feel like everyone in Tech or in real estate or in restaurants
or whatever Community is everything cuz you want to go into work and care about the people that you're working with or the product that you're working on I think there's like admiration on the outside and hopefully that leads to like an arms race of niceness like I think others would like to have the same Community as laravel right so like it's a it's inspiring to know that it can be done I know that you gave that talk about Community I was wondering like what what else like excites you or inspires you I guess particularly because know we're speaking to a developer a with next year's conference
