It was my first year as a Microsoft MVP and I was invited to the MVP Summit 2016. I didn’t know entirely what to expect.
Corporate meeting in Florida to Seattle was a potential step change in weather!
Florida to Seattle for #mvpsummit, I think it may be cold by comparison - no more shorts...

I was awarded a .NET Challenge coin for my OSS contributions to .NET Core and ASP.NET Core.

It seemed a new sport was invented “benbaiting”
Just said "Allocating is Good" in earshot of @ben_a_adams . It had the expected result :P

OH: "It's not the GC, it's your code that's shit" #mvpsummit @ben_a_adams

OH: "Do you allocate?" - @ben_a_adams #mvpsummit
— Kristian Hellang (@khellang) November 8, 2016
“Does it allocate?”
— Nick Craver (@Nick_Craver) November 9, 2016
“No, it’s a memory pressure generator”
Sounds like there's a new sport at #mvpsummit: #benbaiting. Allocate away! /cc @ben_a_adams

The more unique side of #mvpsummit compared to other meetings is the tremendous amount of experience every person brings with their passion.
