rewatching All The Little Things and i just don't understand how the js community never ended up doing more of these kinds of talks but as far as i can tell, due to social media dynamics, it focused its energy intensely into releasing frameworks and libraries instead. i'm sure somebody else has written this, but it feels rails and django had the benefit of thriving under a blog/bulletin board-centric environment where content-rich talks were the natural outcome, not github stars or npm installs.
