Q: Why the heavy-ass .md? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12299756 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12299756)
A: I use an OS X presentation application called DeckSet. DeckSet uses markdown files as its persistence model. That is very convenient for a number of reasons, including the fact that I can manage my presentations with git/github, something that is inconvenient with apps that use a proprietary binary format.
The presentation is available in a more conventional rendering here: https://speakerdeck.com/raganwald/optimism https://speakerdeck.com/raganwald/optimism
- mrec 10y agoIs there a text-only version? The pictures aren't really adding anything and IMO break the reader's flow of thought. We can obviously get around it with something like Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("img")).forEach(img => img.parentNode.removeChild(img)); in the console, but seriously. Medium has a lot to answer for.
- braythwayt 10y agoThis is an actual presentation given at a conference, so the pictures are actually the visuals. I did write up half of this talk as an essay, you'll find it here: http://braythwayt.com/homoiconic/2009/05/01/optimism.html http://braythwayt.com/homoiconic/2009/05/01/optimism.html
