Great timing, I'm doing my first talk in a month or so. Thank you!

I just discovered Code Newbie about two weeks ago. I've been listening to two episodes a day during the weekdays: one during my morning drive and another during my drive home. Makes the commute a lot less boring with getting to listen to stories from all the amazing people in the tech community.

Wow, there's much more to talk about this topic than I thought. You can see she've been condensing these ideas for a long time. The most obvious things are the trickiest ones, like "what is a talk". Nice.

This is fantastic. Informative and engaging -- bookmarking it as I'm going to watch it again before I do a tech talk.
