This August I'm speaking at the last-ever XOXO Festival, revisiting my 2014 talk, "How I Won the Lottery"

@migurski @darius I remember very little of 2014 but I remember XOXO and the thing I remember most about that XOXO was that talk.

@darius Wow, this looks like a banger of a conference. I don't think I can justify the time and expense to attend from California but it looks like it's gonna be a good time.

@darius I occasionally reference this talk and analogy when describing my professional arc to high schoolers at career day (I am a high value career day target as a game dev married to a high school faculty member!). Excited to learn why, upon a decade of reflection, it is wrong to do that.

@ja2ke aaaaaa I still have to figure out like. What trenchant insight I'm going to bring

@darius you can maybe talk about how this talk is a second lottery ticket at being a thought leader, which after your first talk is now all that fuels you. just be an ascendent douche
