I gave my first ever talk last night for the Toronto Elixir meetup (Introduction to Actors in Elixir). It was a lot of fun! The author here is correct about the time, my talk was around ~20 minutes, but I probably spent close to 10 hours working on it.
I also like this part:

at the beginning of my preparation everything felt awkward because I was trying hit different points I had thought of ahead of time. I threw all of that away and started from scratch. The second time I thought more about the "story" I was trying to tell, and found that things flowed more naturally after that.
