For folks interested in folding and origami, the documentary Between the Folds was excellent. I don't know if anyone recorded a Q&A when it did the film festival circuit, but if you could find one, it'd be worth watching.

I remember sitting on the front row of a conference where Yugo was presenting and watching all the other Flash experts lose their minds as he ran through his demos.

Seeing him present those demos/techniques in person would have been an amazing experience. Is there video of that presentation online anywhere? I'd love to know the background of how he developed his programming techniques and visual style.

It's fascinating that easing, which is what this article mostly boils down to, is something that each new generation seems to need to (re)discover on their own. I remember being fascinated by Yugo Nakamura's experimental websites back in the late 90s because they were some of the first that I'd seen that had an organic feel due to liberal use of easing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLt7Gwnt3WY

My favourite meta-talk post is Zach Holman's 'The Talk on Talks'. https://zachholman.com/talk/the-talk-on-talks/ It covers some of the same basic design territory but also touches on delivery, Q&A, etc.

Octopus Deploy was bootstrapped (and profitable) from 2012 until its first funding round in 2021, which is a pretty good stretch. https://venturebeat.com/business/devops-automation-platform-...
