5 quick tips for giving better presentations I have been speaking publicly at developer conferences for over a decade and in that time I've seen plenty of other people giving talks. Everyone gives talks...

I've written a post containing some tips for giving better presentations!

None of these tips can replace great content, but they will help you start strong and keep the energy going all the way through to the applause at the end.

Do you have any more tips to share?

A mild interface optioning different river speeds, wind speeds, sound buttons.

A mild interface optioning different river speeds, wind speeds, sound buttons.

Lil buggy but for some behind the curtains fun, can type "sos" once you start, and fiddle with a few of the different noise vars, sounds etc. Was really trying to be all text, but as I guess was obvious from the start performance would be an instant block.

I've been kinda working on building a less "be patient, and i will force you" and more "as you continue a story will unfold" version for this. But as it goes, always good to get a version out :)

Theres a new ipad today, but I will literally never change from my 2014 mini, that has Heroes of might and magic 3 on it which is now impossible to get on ipad, and also can do all the books/videos/dumb items.

A meme format where someone with a childs toy put's all the "blocks" intended for their shape into the one largest hole. Meanwhile a product person is watching and getting increasingly distressed.

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online

I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

ssh snakes.run to join!

The Vintage Web Websites aged like fine wine.

In a wave of nostalgia/recognition for how fast things are moving lately, gathered together a collection of "vintage" sites, that have unwaveringly stayed online for decades ... and of course I had to make a whole thing of it thevintageweb.com

GitHub - tholman/rasterizer: Experimenting with rasterization with javascript + the html5 canvas Experimenting with rasterization with javascript + the html5 canvas - tholman/rasterizer

Had an email come in last month about a bug in this oldie, github.com/tholman/rast... ... probably my biggest distance (14 years) between commits. Proud of how far I've come.

Iโ€™ve worked and continue to work in both sides of this, and weโ€™ve all seen the numbers tilt to the permanent contractor side where we can apply permanent pressure to the entity vs the person force. No person made morged (lol) just a shit inhumane โ€œwhy hire someoneโ€ system.

Vendors v Passion? Iโ€™ve been thinking about the morged Microsoft stuff (itโ€™s funny), but honestly is it will be insta blamed on a vendor, which it probably is, but lay completely in the realm of โ€œyeah see we fixed it, fired them, we will do betterโ€. Further justifying vendors to the top.
