I'm a big fan of his work but I agree that there were not as many big takeaways as I would have liked. Perhaps it's because I watched so many of his talks on youtube and there was a lot of repeated lessons.

I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.
