This is one of the best video I have ever watched.
Thanks to Kent Beck for this awesome talk!

One of the most profound software talk I've seen until today...
So human.

My favorite points;
1. Interpret feedback
2. Feed the mice
3. Take ballet
4. Be accountable
5. Test the button before you build it.

My favorite quote; "If it works for you keep doing it. If it doesn't then don't do it."
Sounds simple but coming from Kent, it was profound.

Thank you, Youtube, RailsConf, Confreaks, and Kent Beck.
I'm learning so much from going through all these past talks. I'm getting a CS degree through YT.

This was really profound. I can totally see that he's done a lot of introspection. Love how he completed the circle by coming back to the farmer story. Truly Awesome.

[JeanPhilippeLambert]

One of the most inspiring thing i've heard this year yet....

The railsconf projected on his face throughout was a bit distracting
