What I never understood is: why tech conferences focus on everything but the skills we should care about? Every time I take a look on the talks section of a given conference seems like gathering the "quickstart" section of N technologies and just fill some hours of the day talking about it.
The breakout rooms and tutorial sections are for ICs and other interested parties. The big talk rooms are for the check writers, managers, and decision makers. I've been the conferences that will have business tracks and technical tracks. And the technical rooms were the reason I even bother to go.
