This is a terrible set of slides. The only new thing I gathered from it is "cabal sucks". Then the presentation came to a sudden end which left me thinking "what, that's it?" How does such a low quality link get so many upvotes? takes notes for future marketing endeavours

It wasn't really intended to make much sense by itself. I find if I make slides that stand alone, the audience reads the slides and ignores me. I put the slides up as a courtesy to the people in the audience.

There was less than zero marketing involved - I gave this talk months ago and only just noticed this thread.

Apologies if I sounded like I was criticising what you do - I'm sure that these made a lot more sense in the context of a presentation. I was questioning why the person who posted this link did so and why it has been upvoted to such an extent.

not caremad, just clarifying. I'm as baffled as you are.

Lol. :)

Didn't you notice the multiple david vs goliath references? Or the challenger vs incumbent dimension? Conflict makes for a good story makes for frontpage news.

Moreover, the 50/50 text/visuals is a refreshing change away from huge blocks of gray.

ha. I didn't think that at all when I was writing it, but I can see how it's applicable. I'll be sure to analyse that more explicitly next time I write a presentation.
