I had some completely different expectations of this talk. Just read your blogpost, and looking forward to your next more technical talk. One reaction on that blogpost: you are a very peaceful speaker, but for me personally I consider that more of a positive than a negative.
Jeopardy was hilarious. Food was good. Company was fantastic. Bumper cars were doubly painful (but awesome).
Well explained examples. Good stuff.
TIL about the SLC cache log; very useful stuff. My hangover made this talk difficult to understand (but that is not the speaker's fault of course).
So much pain. Excellent.
Great; important points about burnout and empathy made, from someone who has experienced burnout at the hands of a hugely successful project.
Perfect; community, community, community! :)
Inspiring talk.
Thanks for the feedback all. You're right, the talk didn't really have an identity and was a little bit all over the place. If you're interested, I took a look at the session and wrote up the mistakes I made and how I can rectify them next time here - https://michaelheap.com/anatomy-of-a-bad-talk/
(It seems like I can't comment without a rating either. I'll give it the current average to keep things square)
Great to see Nick in real life, and not only as a Godlike being in a chatroom (PHP/AFT).
I was surprised to see how advanced and big the Azure environment actually is. It was an amazing talk, but I would love to see a more technical presentation on what can actually be achieved on more in depth use cases. Great talk though!
