Episode notes

I like to talk about coat stuff. I feel it's very fortunate that i enjoy this so much, because i know a lot of people lhike. This doesn't have to be a passion of your entire life. It could just be a job, and that's ok. Ah, but they can sometimes pay you. A lot of people have very strong opinions about if you should get paid or not to speak to oi've any thoughts on that? But the travel for free is pretty sweet. Like the last conference we went to us like men, like hundreds of dollars ontaxis to get to the airport and buying a 12 dollar crappy baggle at the airport.

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk about their experiences speaking at conferences, why they’ve done it, how they prepare talks, and tips for anyone interested in wanting to give talks.
