Yep, it's this one.

I apologize to others for the lack of context that the slide by itself gives. I got the summary of this talk from a co-worker who actually went, so I had the context in back of my mind. The slidedeck naming is still too sensationalist though for what it's actually about: over time, css gets degraded because developers get into a firebug-hack mentality leading to overwrites by specificity until it gets too big and messy to maintain. I'm still not too clear what she's proposing as a solution to this though; she does give an example of her success at facebook, but that example is a one-time fix, not necessarily a practice that stands on its own over time.
