Visual Studio guy was likely me. I actually didn't resize the form even once; maybe you're just using some poetic license there. Since the internet connection was slow, I couldn't get to my server, so I decided to do one of my favorite 'programming kata' projects: writing a function plotter. I had never done it using GDI, and since I work for Xobni I already had Visual Studio on my laptop (no cloud necessary). The form was 'empty' because the only element in it was a panel. Funny enough, the only guy I remember sitting next to me (that I didn't already know) was also using a Windows laptop. Was that you? The truth of the matter is, my company has used Sheridan's firm before; we've since moved on to another. I've also incorporated companies before. Next time I incorporate a company, I will still be hiring a high dollar lawyer to handle it. I came to startup school for the other 90% of talks, for which my laptop was put away, and my eyes were glued to the front (Altman, DHH, PB, Bezos, Andreesen, Norvig (who was a childhood hero of mine)). It's pretty arrogant of you to pontificate about what should be important to everyone else. I doubt Sheridan was insulted that I was quietly using a laptop in the back of the room. Anyway, it seems like your eyes must have been quite a few other places than his presentation to keep such good track of what everyone else was doing. http://www.thinkgeek.com/books/humor/8e6c/images/2070/ http://www.thinkgeek.com/books/humor/8e6c/images/2070/ P.S.: I agree with you about the reception of DHH's talk, and I felt like one of the only ones to take him very seriously.
