#ct2025 — Public Fediverse posts

Now that #CT2025 is over, what are some highlights for people that were there?

A short blog post today inspired by a conversation I had with Clark Barwick at #CT2025. I asked why the homotopy groups of spheres are so complicated and his answer was the perfect kind of obvious to make me refocus my thoughts on lots of other things I know!
