A full week has now passed since more than 500 people were in Munich for the Autodesk DevCon 2024, and yet I'm only now finding time to put proverbial pen to paper. It's just been really busy, but I'll talk more about why at some point in a future post.
For this year's event I opted to take the train from Neuchatel to Zurich and then from there on to Munich. In theory that's 5.5 hours from city to city, but that's not really accounting for delays due to the unreliable Deutsche-Bahn network. (That's not me being all “Swiss”about things… Germans are the first to complain about the state of rail in their country.)
Interestingly the initial delays/rerouting happened on the Swiss side, as there’d been a landslide in the St Gallen region. The joys of living in a 3D environment, I suppose (these things never happened when I was growing up in the (very flat) East of England). Anyway, the 30-minute buffer I had to change trains in Zurich ended up getting absorbed by taking my first…
