You can also find a lot of his material on his blog, which I submitted to HN a few days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=253540


I attended this OSCON session, and while it got off to a slow start, by the middle/end I felt I'd been treated to some major new insights about a performance-impairing drug-like addiction to stress that may be very common.

So, I hope he puts his slides up in an easier-to-view format than a ZIP download, and if you start viewing them, don't bail out early until at least 2-3 slides after the one with the 'cognitive flexibility test'.


I hope someone recorded it, and it shows up later. There's a lot in the slides but, they're just slides.
