Just found the talk on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WazqgfsO_kY ). Thank you! It expanded on the basic idea of "cost of failure" very well. I've tried to argue his points with mixed success, but now I can point to a talk given by someone who cut his teeth at Facebook.

Heh. Kent Beck "cut his teeth" a little earlier than Facebook ...

(He wrote the Agile Manifesto and developed TDD while working at Sun in the 90s)

Absolutely. It's just that namedropping Meta / Facebook is more effective than Sun :(.
