- It Was Never Going to Work, So Let’s Have Some Tea
James Mickens, Harvard University
It’s difficult to administer large systems. In this talk, Mickens will argue that we should just give up. Instead of asking large systems to do anything at all, we should focus on less quixotic goals like turning lead into gold, or stopping Pokémon from having delightfully idiosyncratic magic abilities. Using case studies involving popular systems for version control and automatic OS updates, James Mickens will gradually make himself more and more depressed, and then he will tearfully answer questions in a way that makes everybody feel awkward. Mickens will then sign copies of his book. Note that Mickens has not written a book.

Brilliant.. as usual. I'd like to hire James Menckin to deliver the eulogy at my funeral, but I'm afraid he'll take my family on a road trip to save the planet from Rust.
Genuinely better than most professional comedians
This was amazing oh man XD
So true about Git, I've been that guy before
