"My mom" is short for you are not alone in your success. How can you describe that in a sane way when you know that just one small variable led to this specific outcome. Tech conferences did not get us Linux, it was just an idea that failed many times before and since.
For me networking has been vital because I've gotten to do so much fun, but it has been a massive waste of time for the most part.

The last one I went to (Handmade Seattle) I happened to meet and have a great conversation with the creator of Zig. I met lots of others, too. Never would have happened if I didn't go attend it.
