Grit, as presented
The whole talk, 90 slides with the speaker notes attached. It builds one argument: every project runs into the same two sets of problems, one that costs the developer the first two weeks and one that decides whether there is a project at all, and the question worth answering is whether the shape of an application can be generated, owned outright by the team that generated it, and still improve after they own it.
