DHH is a great speaker, but he's terrible at math. Every calculation he talked about was completely wrong. Not even close to being right... It's a minor nit, but if he's in front of a computer to build a presentation, you think he would check to make sure that 500 customers at 40 dollars a month is NOT 125,000 a month (for example).


The video is pretty good and much better than just notes, but it still doesn't come close to being there in person


"it still doesn't come close to being there in person"

Yes! It's not just better, it's a different experience altogether.

I wonder how many lives were changed yesterday. Not just by this talk, but by all of them.


You don't need to rub it in. :)


I think it's great pg invited someone who gave a lot of opposite advice from what he has said at various times.


Wow, what a refreshing startup presentation. I'd upmod it double if I could.


random question....what did DHH use for his slide transitions? Is it just standard powerpoint? I thought the slide transitions were nice =)
