Edgecase 2025

I wasn’t planning on attending Edge Case 2025 this year, but someone from the industry reached out to me on LinkedIn and suggested it might be worth a look. Since it was nearby, I decided to give it a shot — and I’m glad I did.

The event turned out to be fruitful:

• I met folks from Chainguard, a company we’re actively thinking about at work, and got to sit through their presentation on supply chain security.
• I spoke with people from Sysdig and saw Dell present on their private cloud/on-prem software.
• One highlight was a passionate and articulate talk on how Disney+ was launched, which stood out as one of the best technical presentations of the day.

The most valuable part, though, was meeting True Fullstack — chatting with Wietse about careers, the industry, and my own next steps toward more people-oriented roles. It reminded me that my skills aren’t just technical; hearing someone push back on my “not a consultant” self-image was a nice boost, and it made me feel alive again.

Overall, Edge Case 2025 was a reminder of the value of showing up, connecting, and listening.
