Taylor Desseyn explains why they keep going to conferences even when burned out. In-person events build community in ways online engagement can't match, and face-to-face interactions hit different.

Why do you keep going to these conferences, especially if you're dealing with burnout? First off, it's just, it's just part of the job. I mean, at the end of the day, like, I signed up for this. I kind of created this swim lane for myself. And part of building community is you have to do this. Like, do I think you can build community behind a keyboard? And we do. But if you're only behind a keyboard, maybe. But I don't think, I don't think it'll be near as impactful.
