@bittner@hachyderm.io @feoh@oldbytes.space The practice of sharing slides after the event is to blame for a lot of this. A conference slide deck now has to serve two purposes: Backdrop for the speaker.Something that works for people who download it later and read it. You can put a lot of things in speaker notes, but they don't show up if they do a PDF export.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @bittner@hachyderm.io @feoh@oldbytes.space agreed. I just add more slides, split out the words, use HUGE fonts. Example: https://speakerdeck.com/matthewskelton/how-to-use-economies-of-empowerment-to-get-the-benefits-of-both-speed-and-scale-agile-yorkshire Slide 2

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange wtf? Do they not include export of the notes as appendix as well? Bizarre @bittner@hachyderm.io @feoh@oldbytes.space

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @bittner@hachyderm.io @feoh@oldbytes.space I learned about the Takahashi method from Audrey Tang long ago, it works well for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahashi_method
