So far the best video about DS I have seen on UA-cam

[@tushar1594]

Guys at W., the sound. please.

[@segfaultii]

10:50 "Look at the difference between this image and this one!" Maybe @awwwards. your video production team could SHOW us what he is so poignantly trying to convey.

[@SercanYavasoglu]

This guy has an ego which is bigger than the screen behind him.

[@pablomieres4097]

hahahaha Someone had the courage to point out the elephant in the room.

[@scozky]

Super interesting and fun speech. Really enjoyed listening

[@jakubkuik10]

The Whisperer. :D Awesome content and interesting presentation though!

Google cloud: we have 300 UX folks.
Meanwhile, my startup: they have me, just me.

[@AkshayVinchurkar]

Killer speech and presentation. 👍

[@EnglishTeacher300]

Sound is soooooooo low !

[@neiltaylor7857]

Ads giving me a heart attack.

[@cebanasdima]

terrible sound!

[@timdevries6825]

Sound is indeed horrible.

[@SonnyDarvishzadeh]

Most of the older DS videos are only trying to say how cool they are and try to be inspirational. None will tell you the true pain of communication and convincing fearful colleagues.

Pique

The content is super cool. But just speak with a normal voice man - it will come out much more genuine, etc. That's the reason why folks are calling out the presenter's "ego", even though they don't know him at all. It's the voice and the in-character delivery. Just be yourself, and it will be awesome!

[@Leei]

Awful sound.

[@acesflyhigh]

Super boring.

[@pritishsai]

For all of those who have issues with the near inaudible volume open Inspect and paste this under 'Console'
var videoElement = document.querySelector("video")
var audioCtx = new AudioContext()
var source = audioCtx.createMediaElementSource(videoElement)
var gainNode = audioCtx.createGain()
gainNode.gain.value = 10 // double the volume
source.connect(gainNode)
gainNode.connect(audioCtx.destination)
