The problem is while presenting my IQ is 20 points lower. I suppose this holds for many people. There are too many presentations on youtube which spend minutes just fixing typos.
I agree a few seem authentic but soon it just feels like a waste of time — and break in the flow of presentation.
- haswell 9y agoYeah, I absolutly agree with you there. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is valuable. I’ve had plenty of moments where the brain->finger->keyboard connection just fails under the pressure of a live demo.

- LeifCarrotson 9y agoI'm not sure about the 20 points number, the effect feels much larger. Perhaps if you simultaneously apply a 20% penalty to hand-eye coordination, balance, facial expressions, typing skills, enunciation, penmanship, memory/recall, creativity, etc. you could accurately represent my skill as a human being while presenting.
- kpil 9y agoIt's a truth universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a keyboard is guaranteed to spot spelling errors and trivial errors absolutely last of everyone watching.
- joshvm 9y agoI think a nice workaround for this is to use something like a Jupyter Notebook (which also has bash support). You have all the commands pre-entered and you can step through as necessary. If you need to add something because of an audience question you can just insert a new cell. It looks live and in my opinion better than faffing in a terminal. You also have the bonus of being able to provide the notebook to your audience after the talk (or they can follow along with you).
