So I'm about to do V6 of my T2 keynote - usually it takes about 10 full runs until a keynote is good. This is why we are very very careful about asking people to do keynotes. They typical first run of a keynote gets feedback like "This is terrible. Just terrible. Awful". (Except Halvar's). In any case, I've sent out versions of it to lots of different people for feedback and I've noticed a few things. Probably the most common complaint about me as a CEO is that I don't share my strategy with the company at large. I think maybe this is because strategy is insanely hard to verbalize and structure in any domain, and cyber is twice as hard as most. The talk has 10 minutes of policy bashing in it, essentially a cliff notes of "Why the policy community as a whole is broken and what the vulnerability classes are that they tend to have in their thought processes" because policy impacts national strategy and the cyber landscape, which impacts the technical direction you go as a hacker, which in turn impacts policy if they were aware enough to know that. When I send this talk to policy people, they are fine with the bashing. In fact, it bores them. They know it all too well. What policy people want, universally, is MORE STRUCTURE in the talk. For some reason this is fascinating to me, because as a whole, if you have to define hackers, who are really the target market of the talk, it is "Those who are OK with less structure, despite being basically autistic". -dave (P.S. If you have not reviewed any previous versions and want to review V6, let me know!:) _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunityinc com https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
