We were at Boxworks14 last week, and had a great time!

We met a bunch of interesting folks, including Heidi Williams, Senior Director of Platform Engineering, who — along with Peter Rexer and others from her team — gave some really insightful deep-dives into Box’s technology stack.

(Among other things we learned that we could improve the Kerika user experience by changing the way we do OAuth 2.0 with Box.)

Keynote speeches were amazing: the hyper-kinetic Aaron Levie made for a rousing start, but the real star was Jared Leto who not only brought his Oscar onstage, but in a jaw-dropping move handed it over the audience for people to take selfies with while he blithely continued with his “Fireside Chat”.

Jared’s move even upstaged Aaron, which is pretty hard to do (as you will know, if you have ever encountered Aaron in the flesh…)

Other great speakers included Jim Collins, author of Built to Last, Vinod Khosla of Khosla Ventures (and, originally, Kleiner Perkins and Sun Microsystems), and Andrew McAfee from MIT.
