It's Thursday. The time is 16:03. It's Day 2 of MoTaCon. And I've never seen the 99-Second Talks queue grow so quickly. And even after this photo more people turned up.
Such is the power of a 99-Second Talk. Watch someone, feel inspired and join the queue.
Like a rock solid message broker: Queuing ensures that messages are not lost and only delivered when recipients are ready, improving reliability and response times.
Kudos to everyone who took to the stage. 🎉
