Last week I gave a talk at the Open Source Firmware Conference about some of the work I’m doing at Oxide Computer, entitled On Hubris and Humility. There is a video of the talk if you’d like to watch it in video form. It came out pretty alright!

The conference version of the talk has a constantly animated background that makes the video hard for some people to watch. OSFC doesn’t appear to be bothering with either captions or transcripts, so my friends who don’t hear as well as I do (or just don’t want to turn their speakers on!) are kind of out of luck.

And so, here’s a transcript with my slides inlined. The words may not exactly match the audio because this is written from my speaker’s notes. And, yes, my slides are all character art. The browser rendering is imperfect.

I’ve also written an epilogue at the end after the initial response to the talk.
