Props for mentioning the OODA loop.

Good God, my scrolling finger is cramping. It seems like a nice presentation, but maybe something more compact would be a more suitable online format?

Coda's talk was really, really good - especially the parts where he talks about taking measurements in a meaningful way.

I think that the talks are being recorded; it would be worth watching the video even if you've gone through the slides.

Update - evidently the talks were not recorded :(

Fortunately, his metrics project has a pretty good overview on github: https://github.com/codahale/metrics

Yeah his delivery was very well-executed. I would go so far as to say Jobs-esque, which is quite an accomplishment when you're talking about something as mundane as metrics.

You can use the left and right arrow keys to jump to the previous or next slide. It’s much easier than scrolling, and when successive slides are similar, it is easier to spot what changed.

I use this in Safari/Preview.app -- hope it works across all PDF viewers though.

I'm using bcrypt cause Coda told me so.

That's a shame. Sounds like it was a great presentation.

This was really an inspirational and superbly executed talk. The slides ware basically just background without much value. I just wish hi's Metrics project would exist for my stack (PHP), I'll probably have to roll something of my own, or find something suitable as an alternative. Any suggestions?

I'd love to see the video of the presentation. Any idea of where to look?

Sadly, it wasn't recorded.

Projectors should just have a camera/mic and record everything while they're on, just in case.
