Really enjoyed this read Mitchell, thank you for sharing it! The Umbraco community has been an inspiration for myself in the past (and continues to be) as well.

Thanks so much. Probably could have gone through a few more edits but in the end I would have just kept rewriting it.
Since the conference I've found myself dabbling in AI, homelab setups and just general personal development. So it has left me with a thirst for knowledge.

The Umbraco community had the same effect on me after attending code garden. Although I am now retired it has increased my passion for writing code and sharing knowledge.

Fantastic post @Mitchell Nortje - I love the effect that our community keeps having on people! When I first got involved, I had a very similar experience and I haven't looked back. Really hope to see more of your blog posts.
Homelab setups have been interesting to me the last few months as well!
