Comments on this Talk
good talk but basically had seen this at lone star Ruby Conf
First, Dave makes me jealous as a speaker. He kills it every time.
It was a fun and thought provoking session. I particularly appreciate that there were only a very few ideas deeply explored, as opposed to going "a mile wide, an inch deep" -- the downfall of many presentations.

Dave is always fun and fascinating, no matter what he is talking about. Loved the Ruby parsing examples.
