• 'Next refresh' means 'next background refresh' not 'next time you can successfully request a refresh'
  • It's still wrong though haha
• Demoing is easier when you break it up into chunks
  • And have separate links/accounts for each chunk
  • And close the links from the previous section before starting a new one
  • Luckily for my talk at Tokyo Rubyist I have slides & no links
• Not for the first time, returning inside a block (like reject) actually returns in Ruby
  • What you're thinking of is next
  • Please do not get stuck on this for ages again haha
• Giving non-technical staff access to stuff is a great way to find unexpected bugs
  • Do not do this in prod/with staging clients that're used for anything except internal testing

Links

• The Last Quiet Thing - Terry Godier

Makes a point most people are probably already aware of on at least a subconcious level, but the presentation is very nice.

• Bye Doom - Kyle Ford

Interesting way to get social media content without the social media alogrithm, if you find something worthwhile in that wasteland.
