oh, wow, Hacker News. Inércia 2023 was raw and pure; I loved it. My post is just a tiny POV fragment of many other things that were going on there. I hope the team organizes Inércia 2024 because I'm already dusting off my 6510 assembly skills to work on a demo for next year.

It's really cool you keep doing all this stuff. I think the most fun moments I had with code and electronics were the several hackathons I participated in both in Codebits and pixels.camp. I had never heard about Inércia before, thanks for sharing!

You should come next year!

Celso, on the topic of organizing events and building community, please bring back Codebits v3! Miss those unique vibes!

I hear this so much, sometimes in the most unexpected situations, and it's heart-warming. One day, I was having lunch with the family in a remote place in a restaurant in Serra da Estrela, and a random folk came to the table just to tell me how Codebits had shaped his life. I think I shed a tear righ there.

Anyway, yes, we have to find a comeback angle someday.

There's a direct line from Codebits to Cloudflare opening an office in Lisbon to me typing this in Lisbon.

Sending you on a train to nowhere in deep Douro wasn't enough to prevent you from returning.

That one is missing from my Celsada collection. Will we ever get the juicy details?

This makes me so happy to read! I'd donate and definitely travel to Portugal specifically just to attend (as I did with the last ones when I had already moved away). Codebits also shaped my life, got me my first job, new friends, etc, so here's a +1. I think there's at least a good few hundreds of people with the same story :)

Codebits was pure fun. I cherish those memories fondly!

It was great to have you there, thank you!

Almost as if bridging from codebits/pixelscamp :)

Definitely a lot of Codebits first edition vibes!

Just with less Segways races and Android beta SDK experiments. :)

Less Second Life too :)
