The GitHub talk was one of the few for me that streamed reasonably. I've been pretty disappointed with the streaming performance today. TC Disupt was flawless for me, this was almost unwatchable.
I agree that Tom Preston-Werner had some great advice especially about "bootstrapping while working your fulltime job to pay the bills."
Watching Adam D'Angelo was a bit painful, he was really nervous and unfortunately due to streaming issues it seemed like some of the bad moments were showed over and over -- that said, the bit of his talk that stood out was "having a good reputation helps open doors". I didn't get to see his whole talk, hopefully he expanded upon how to build that good reputation...
- dstorrs 16y agoSomeone actually asked him that specific question. His answer (paraphrased): "Find a small company that you think is going to be big and join it. At small companies, you learn a lot about many different things. As they grow larger, you learn about scaling issues. Throughout the process, build your personal network."
