This was an awesome keynote by an inspiring speaker. This speech embodied the “one person can make a difference” call to action motif of the whole conference.
OK…when I heard that Yehuda only started programming in 2004, I just about choked on the coffee I was drinking!! As a guy who has been in the .NET space a long time – making his way to Rails, Yehuda’s talks was very inspiring – and intensely practical on how to get involved. If you walked away from this talk with anything less than being totally enthused, you were sleeping!
It was an extremely inspiring keynote!
