Re: Build Impossible Programs
#3I do love it when people post their slides for presentations, because this means I can usually get the gist of it without watching the video. Thanks, Julia! Though one quick comment: you're drawing your slides by hand, which unfortunately makes it a bit annoying for other people to consume–copy/paste doesn't work, and I'd assume people with limited vision might even be completely out of luck. So a transcript would be really nice.

Thanks, I must have missed that when I glanced through this.

#6I 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 how to fix that except to practise and memorise what I'm going to say, and then just read it. But then it just becomes very monotone-y.

Recording yourself and reviewing the recordings is a technique I've used. I am uncomfortable doing it (do not like hearing / watching myself!), but it's definitely helped me analyze how I come across and then adjust accordingly.
Also a good strategy to use when preparing for interviews.

A tip is to talk in slow motion, because if you talk super slow and think of it during your talk, you will probably talk normally.
Your mind and heart races and so does your speech, so that trick is good for when you're nervous and have helped me several times when giving presentations. You will think that you're talking in slow, but in reality you are talking normally.

#10But if it can be built.. then it's not impossible.
Hence the topic should be "Build possible programs".
