A friend said KubeCon "isn't the same anymore." I asked what got worse. They couldn't answer. Turns out there's a name for this.

Three names, actually: 1. Hedonic Adaptation : Brain's inbuilt boredom machine 2. Rosy Retrospection : Your Memory is a Highlight Reel 3. Declinism : The "Kids These Days" Bias

Good observation.

These seem to have an effect, alone or together, but all other things being equal it might just be because everything is just more expensive now.

Which effect is bigger may not always be the same, sometimes expense is not the main factor but it can go neck-and-neck against almost anything.
