JCON EUROPE 2023

You walk down the corridor surrounded by people, their faces illuminated by the glow of computer screens. Smiling to yourself, you know they are all running your code. A seasoned developer recognizes you. He has your book in his hand, and asks for an autograph while thanking you for writing it. You blush! You still find such moments surreal...

Knocking on the meeting room door, you mentally replay the conversation. They presented you with an incredible job offer: full autonomy, a high salary, and access to cool technology. The interview was a breeze! There was no one else competing for your position. YOUR position. You almost laught at that idea.

The door opens with a bang and you jump. You had dozed off, only to wake up to that same dream once again. In it, you have such a remarkable reputation that developers are eager to purchase your book (YOUR book! Imagine that!).

Still sleepy, you look at the JCon website that is open behind your IDE. What's that? A keynote from a peculiar guy wearing a flag. He promises to guide you on building your reputation? You jump and sign up on the spot! Laying back in your chair, a wide smile spreads across your face: maybe it is not a dream after all!
