The talk is about tricks and tips to push forward technologies which a programmer finds useful within a traditional and technologically conservative corporate environment. He tells the story of a Ruby project within a corporate environment that was very hostile to changes. I have been in similar situations and I always ended up defeated. I have written programs (fully working, tested, offered at zero cost) that would have saved somebody $50K/year in software licenses. The CTO said: no thanks. Most CTO prefer a big vendor to free or in-house because are incapable of estimating the value and hidden costs of that and, the company ends up with the worst employees, those who will put up with that mentality. I can think of many people here who work for Java or C# shops and some times they'd rather use something else. I think the talks gives them useful tips.
