@pawelbrodzinski my version of this one is “embrace variety, design for resilience” – positive & avoids the “variation” trigger word #lkna13

Torbjörn Gyllebring (@drunkcod, Thu May 02):
Back in Stockholm after a fantastic #lkna13. Laughs were shared, friends new & old met. Exhausted & happy. Thanks for making it special.

1022 unique tweeters on the #lkna13 hashtag. Given 260(?) attendes I think it’s safe to say the event reached far & wide.
