Update#

I was very happy with how this talk went on the day, but I was even happier once I got the speaker feedback. These were the results/comments:

Speaker Knowledge: 9/9 Speaker Presentation: 8.41/9

• A lot to fit in within an hour but covered the basics well.
• Arrows back to front in build workflow? Pedantic me?
• Bring cake.
• Fantastic, thanks Gary.
• Great intro to cake. Thanks.
• Great talk, I will use it!
• Really nice demo. Good explanation of motivations (why/why not use it?). Debuggable build scripts is amazing.
• Well structured, clear. Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and I am very glad that you all liked it!
