#2Is there a format I can read this all at once? Or watch a talk?
Presentations don't work so well if nobody is presenting.
Re: Enterprise-Fu
#3The content seems like it might be interesting but the presentation is so pretentious that it's quite literally unreadable.
I gave up after about a dozen "give me the next word" finger taps on my phone.
Just post the prose. Better writers and worse writers have done so, and people have read them.

#4I was hoping this was something about how to survive (and thrive) in large organizations. And it is. It's a little bit cynical but still well done.

Website doesn't link to a talk, and the slides are 10 years old by now:

#6I had to close this after the 10th click the next slide for a single word to appear "Like Ninja" No "Like a Samurai!" No "Like a ninja samurai". Yeah can't handle this.

Presentations aren't generally received well if the presenter just reads aloud the words shown on the slides, which seems like the only way one could present this.

#8It's hard to be critical of the content — if you take it from the perspective of a mid-senior developer within a non-Big Tech role who is starting to see into the leadership decisions being made or pathways available to them, it's probably true to their experience.
But I would caveat that the "hell is other people" and "learn to not-obey" section are recommending behaviours that at best the organisation's people managers, and at worst leadership, would recognise as "career limiting" — and would end that person being stuck in place or on a performance plan. The stance is confrontational and not collaborative — somewhat myopic.
"Business has a short memory. take advantage of it." — Very true, but only when it is adventitious to do so.

#9made it 5 slides in before closing. this kind of stuff is like early 2010s level marketing lol.
edit: which now makes sense! didn't see the date.

#10Wouldn’t it be cool to write something that is ostensibly interesting and then spend a bunch of time obscuring it through an annoying click-for-each-word presentation?
