Loic Le Meur has an interesting blog post up about LeWeb08, the ticket price and whether or not it should be more or less exclusive. It is interesting to see how the event has changed over the years.

This hit me first a few years ago when I was reading the blog of a developer of a very popular software piece of Web software - the guy was working in a tiny little petrol station, writing the software in between serving customers. (There’s an electronic middle-class Marxist revolution against all the management tossers who caused the economic downturn if only the economy can unfuck itself long enough to kill the parasites).
