Yep, that was me — thank you for the kind words! Gary Bernhardt had a creative concept for selecting speakers. Half were invited, internet famous people like Tom 7 and Julia Evans. Half were people who'd never spoke at a conference before, like Nabil and I. For the call for proposals, we submitted 2 minute videos instead of abstracts. Gary invested a lot of time mentoring the new speakers, which I'm so grateful for! In September, I did another, kind of similar talk at Strange Loop, called "Picasso, Geometry, Jupyter." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYJ77F_8kq0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYJ77F_8kq0 The topic and ideas were good, probably better than my Deconstruct talk. But my execution and presentation were uneven and unpolished, so I'd like to try it again at another conference. I'm submitting to PyCon — we'll see!
