- seiji 15y agoSorry for my unfortunate tone. I was lamenting the lack of preparedness of a minority of speakers. Most people gave world class presentations, but a minority had a perceived lack of preparation. With people traveling half way around the world, it seems disrespectful to have speakers fumbling on stage.
- mixmastamyk 15y agoDoesn't read so nasty, though perhaps a bit negative. The question that springs to mind, is the comment true?
- 2arrs2ells 15y agoThe quality of the speakers last year was mixed, but none of the speakers were a waste of time. Some of the talks I found least interesting (i.e. GitHub) others said were the best of StartupSchool.
- bradly 15y agoI liked Adam D'Angelo's talk. Adam was nervous, but that's okay- I would be too. Not everyone is Dhh. And he didn't say "have rich friends". His message was that if you want to start a startup, thing about going to work at an early stage startup for a year or two first. You will learn what it takes, meet potential co-founders, meet vc's, learn the business side of things. I don't remember what Reid's talk was on, but I do remember it being one of my favorites.
