Here's a video of the SkillsMatter talk I did on Thursday, titled "Stuff I'm starting to know now that I really wish I'd known 20 years ago".
Its loosely based on the theme of Making The Invisible More Visible, one of my entries from the book, 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know. I completely botched what I was trying to say about courage. What I was trying to say was that courage is not the absence of fear.
My other SkillsMatter talk was based on Do More Deliberate Practice my other entry in the 97 Things Book.
This was the first run of quite a lot of new material so I was quite nervous, but I felt most of it went very well. Here's some of the feedback.
