CodeMash 2016

CodeMash 2016 was awesome, as per usual. This year, I think we had a much larger turnout of testers than before. We even had some testing related open spaces!

I wasn’t able to go to all of the sessions I wanted to, but I live-tweeted the ones I did attend! I ended CodeMash with about 400 tweets, according to the rough count I got from Twitter (top is day 1 of CodeMash, before I started tweeting, bottom is after my final CodeMash tweet on Friday):

Here’s the Storify of the Precompilers I attended, which were

• Python Koans with David Stanek
• Creative Collaboration with Doc Norton
• Testing RESTful Web Services with Mark Winteringham.
