Discussion on: Who are your favorite speakers?

In no particular order:

• Adam Bien gives a heck of a demo and has deep, deep knowledge of Java
• Ward Cunningham is pretty interesting; he's got that spirit of the open internet
• Heidi Waterhouse gives a heck of a talk. I've mostly seen her talk on documentation and representation in tech, but they've been great.
• Andrew Clay Shafer is very lively, and has interesting opinions on devops
• Brad Frost can talk your ear off on why you should spend time on design, and how to do it
• Kelsey Hightower is a top notch speaker who does Kubernetes demos that seem like wizardry, but goes beyond the tech
• Sandi Metz gave a talk that made a lot of things about refactoring, oop and coding click for me - I was impressed
