+
+#### Allen Digs Into My Affairs
+
+[Allen Webster](https://mr4th.com/), creator of 4coder and systems programmer at RAD (now part of Epic Games), interviewed me in earnest about my life as an indie organizer—where I must confess I’ve never opened up like this before.
+
+Have you ever asked yourself, while attending one of our conferences:
+
+* What does Abner do as a full-time organizer?
+* What does it actually _look like_, day in and day out?
+* Why the obsession with being sponsor-free?
+* Aren’t there good tech companies that can help him grow the conferences even faster?
+
+If you’ve wondered along these lines before then this video should hopefully prove fun and enlightening. You’ll learn about my strange (but, in my view, necessary) career path that’s been a bit of a black box until now.
+
+![](/images/news/breakdown_of_an_indie_life.webp)
+
+
+#### Follow Along More Conversations
+
+This is the first in a series of important discussions Allen is having with industry figures. He’s zooming in on angles most us programmers tend to miss and tries to understand what people are doing in a broader sense. I think it’s a very worthwhile and interesting project! (Fun fact: the awesome visualizer you see in the video was programmed by Allen himself. [Over a weekend jam.](https://handmade.network/jam))
+
+Join Allen’s [newsletter](https://newsletter.mr4th.com/) to know when his next conversation gets published.
+
+
+#### Post-Interview Notes
+
+Nearing the end of my conversation with Allen I accidentally imply you must go through the first 25 to 30 episodes of [Handmade Hero](https://guide.handmadehero.org/) in order to attend [Handmade Boston](https://handmadecities.com/boston). **Please note you’re not actually required to go through all the episodes.** (All the power to you if you decide to though!) This is just a rule of thumb to convey the real expectations:
+
+1. That you’re already comfortable with the kind of programming shown in Handmade hero.
+
+2. Alternatively, that you’ve written some substantial application or game in a systems language like C.
+
+And you should be good to go.
