It's a missed opportunity to ask such a banal questions

[@architectsnotarchitecture]

Which are the questions that you would have asked him?

[@ar2revich]

Yeah, the questions aren't up to par, and this event definitely needs a better MC. The guy at the end isn't doing a good job and doesn't seem to be getting any better over time. It seems like he's too distracted and not paying attention to the speakers. Plus, he doesn't have any great follow-up questions; he's just reading from his iPad.
