Worth watching. It bookends well with Dan North's article on InfoQ earlier this year on why the Dreyfus model indicates there's no such thing as "Best Practice". We played this in an office meeting and agreed to try and put some of this into practice.
Funny too. You often see tech presentations being described as humorous and they rarely are (unless you like lame tech jokes). Dave Thomas though has a good line going in comic effect. -
I have tried to view this a couple of times and both times it stopped abruptly after about a few minutes. It stops around the time Dave Thomas is talking about a taking flying lessons and reading a "duffel bag full of books".
If I try to play again, it starts over from the beginning. And yes, I have tried to drag the progress bar to about where it left off; that doesn't work either.
I am viewing this page using FF 3.0.1.
Any suggestions? -
I was able to watch the entire presentation with my FF 3.0.1 - Windows XP.

I am facing the problem too...same as above mentioned...Could somebody fix this from Infoq team.. I had also tried on IE 7 Thanks!
