03:33 Yeah, so I'm gonna be like doing a weird story about how I found out like about remix So I thought about remix two years ago I was going down YouTube and I found found out fireship the youtubers talking about remix So I found out that it was really interesting. So I want to learn more about it and I had

03:52 I had to go and read a documentation. I was really flabbergasted by the amount of information I had to go from the documentation. I want to know more about it, but I'd find a lot of resources a lot of tutorials So I thought I can't read it I guess it's a kid, right? Yes. Yes. I had to subscribe and

04:12 Just learn about remix and that's where I found a lot of interesting things about it and how to build full stack application How it's following with standards and it's really incredible like the things I've been building from from like one year and a half though

04:27 So that's why I've decided to to like make a session about remix is because While I was like making projects and side projects and posted them on X Twitter. I found a lot of Misunderstanding about like really Misunderstanding about things like that we use in remix. So

04:48 That's why I have decided to do this talk. So it's gonna be about It's gonna be a beginner to intermediate to expert level So it's gonna be like about how to utilize route loaders actions or to revalidation Format forms how to how to make forms, etc

05:30 The examples that you share and stuff. I think remix has definitely reached to that point where? The the team can't manage Making sure everybody understands how things were intended to be used and people are abusing things and you know Basically remix is hitting the real world

05:49 And so it's very helpful to have people come in and say here's some common mistakes that people are making and things that you can Do to improve your remix apps? Very cool. So while we're at the conference the the Like we actually spend a lot of time

06:07 Not in the talks.

So what are some of the things that you would love to chat with people about? Well, first of all, you just talked about like the conference

06:27 I want to say something that I really believe in is that I want to share how valuable and meetups and conferences can be because my first job I get there from attending to Conferences. The first one was a Google developer Conference and I landed my first job because I was a speaker there even though it didn't went great

06:47 But I I got a lot of job offers after it. So it's really important if you like trying to network with our people with other other talented speakers, so that's really great and Really looking forward to be there. Mm-hmm. I 100% agree with you I also got a job based on a relationship that I made when I was at a conference

07:10 Mine was react rally. I think the first year they held react rally and I met who someone who was would be my co-worker at PayPal while I was at that conference and started a relationship there and then we kept in touch on Twitter and

07:29 Yeah, then I ended up getting a job at PayPal through that relationship So I am super super agree that speaking at conferences and attending conferences It's very useful that that actually that was I was just an attendee at that conference. I wasn't even speaking So even just being an attendee and being active in talking with other people at the event

07:48 I can make a really big impact on your career So so is there any topic that you're hoping to talk with other attendees at the conference then?
