I can't tell if she's nervous or awkward or excited but it reminds me of myself when giving talks, even to small groups. I get so flustered that my mind races and then the rest of my body tries to catch up so I'm now talking really fast and moving and jumping all over and being very fidgety with things. Anyway the difference is that she managed to get her points through while mine often gets lost. I still don't know…

Practice, practice, practice. I used to be unable to do presentations, unless I had practiced them out loud twenty times in the days before the presentation. I wouldn’t write a script and stick to it word for word, I’d make slides and general points and then practice them out loud until I got them right. After a few years of doing this, I only had to practice a few times. Today I can stand up anywhere and talk about…

Thanks but that doesn't work for me, I can't figure which extension is blocking me. I get this when opening that link: TypeError: "play" is read-only player.js:2:3975 VimeoPlayer https://f.vimeocdn.com/p/3.3.17/js/player.js:2:3975 https://f.vimeocdn.com/p/3.3.17/js/player.js:2:260 TypeError: VimeoPlayer is not a constructor 290376045:1:9150 https://player.vimeo.com/video/290376045:1:9150

Putting the link in youtube-dl and watching offline works for me.

Anyone know what Julia is using for those handwritten slides? I absolutely love everything Julia writes. She writes in a way that makes absolutely zero assumptions about your level of technical competence. You could be a junior, mid, senior and still get something from most of her articles. Anecdotally; Almost every female engineer I work with writes and communicates in this fashion and I really bloody wish more of m…

Julia uses Squid for Android for her zines: https://jvns.ca/teach-tech-with-cartoons/#tools-that-make-it... Presumably, she uses the same to do the slides. Here she talks some more about her tools: https://usesthis.com/interviews/julia.evans/
