    Exactly. Success kid will not convince me that Ruby is a good language, and a gif of a cat falling from a ledge doesn't explain the differences between concurrency models in JS and Go.

    My only hope is that he was fired for his lack of being able to teach, not for his use of memes. People need to lighten the hell up.

    @datawraith @desirous It's all about moderation... There are too many talks at conventions where someone presents a cool package/project, and messes up the whole presentation flow by having some gif of an animal doing something dumb every other slide.

    It depends. We have a monthly internal meeting with whole team (~20) and we use memes in every slides. It helps relaxing and keeping a cool atmosphere

    @Gnonpi Replace all financial updates with pictures of cats, but keep the tech stuff.
