:wave: Hey all. I'm the author. This content is over ten years old now (2013), as is the slide tech backing it.
Hopefully it's obvious that the click-to-advance is a style that suits my presentation style, and I would have made different choices if I intended it to be consumed online.
In any case, I've learned a lot since this talk and have on occasion considered updating it. I'm pretty surprised it's trending, TBH.
- Blaiz0r 3y agoPlease do, I was pleasantly surprised that I agreed with most and indeed practice quite a bit of it without being able to identify it. It's nice to see these patterns and thoughts written out.
- trillic 3y agoIs there a public recording of you presenting the deck? Would love the full context.
- flavorjones 3y agoNo video, sadly. The Enterprise Agile 2013 conference didn't record the talks, and otherwise I've only given it at a lunchtime "tech talk" for my co-workers.
- texodus 3y agoNot that you asked for this, but as a @flavorjones admirer I figured I'd post anyway, my favorite actually recorded talk of theirs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOutXbz_7Ns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOutXbz_7Ns
- ewuhic 3y agoHi! What does "A.B.D." stand for? I might have missed it from the prez.
- kqr 3y agoI'm going to guess Always Be Delivering -- it's indeed in the slides!

- datadrivenangel 3y agoHave any of your opinions changed in the last 10 years on this topic?
- flavorjones 3y agoHmm. I don't think my opinions have changed too much. I would _definitely_ present these ideas differently today; the language we all use to describe problems and solutions has changed quite a bit in the meantime. And how I _apply_ these tactics and strategies is much less confrontational than when I was in fintech, mostly because I'm older and more patient. But the essence of the advice in here is still a big part of how I work: having a technical roadmap to match the product roadmap; getting small wins on the path to long-term goals; talking about what you've built and showing it off; taking responsibility for product and design decisions if nobody else is; building a team who will share ownership; diagnosing dysfunction with Vaillant's defense mechanisms; using estimates to pay off technical debt and experiment with new technology and approaches. All of these tactics and strategies are still valuable in my opinion.
- doctorpangloss 3y agoA lot of this sounds like "You can make bad to okay money doing other people's jobs while they collect a salary working 1 hour a week." Enterprisy indeed. Anyway, has it ever been the case that someone asks Pivotal (1) to do something well-specified (2) that they really, truly can't do themselves (3) but actually makes sense to do, like is positive ROI? If those three things align, you are never hiring a contractor!
