nicebyte @nicebyte.bsky.social · 09/12/2024i've seen too many tech talks/presos that suffer from a few totally fixable issues, and decided to write about it: gpfault.net/posts/gripes...gpfault.netMy Gripes With Tech Talks 86316
John Campbell @daddygame.dev · 10/12/2024I attended a talk about giving better talks, and he had a similar point about not making the audience read and listen at the same time. His solution was slides with one or two sentences on, then when he showed a new slide he'd just pause and be quiet for 30 seconds to allow everyone to read it. 100
