I am on it again: Talks with livecoding 😁
And basically that was all I was doing this week... and some number crunching for DevRel metrics... and sorting out documentation again.
But I will just leave the learnings here for my talk preparations as the talk and livecoding went very well imho. They also took 90% of my week 🙃
Learnings From Preparing and Giving a Talk with Livedemos
- Be authentic and honest. Admit if you do not know something. Nothing worse than a speaker who can not admit, that an answer is out of his knowledge in my opinion.
- I spent an unproportionate amount of time (2 days) into nailing down every livedemo I would show. This made them more or less bulletproof. But also gave me the confidence to know how to fix problems that came up.
- Be ok if something does not work out. It is ok, it happens to the best. Laugh and explain what should have happened, then move on.
- Reboot your system before the talk resolve strange system issues
- OBS on Mac Silicone causes weird system crashes sometimes 🥶
