@jsunderhood what is your favorite brooklynjs talk? or maybe you have many..
wow, there are so many to choose from. let me give you a few of my favorites. twitter.com/lapanoid/statu…

WHAT IS CODE? We're finding out from Brooklyn's own @ftrain, the man behind this rad article: bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-… pic.twitter.com/8wIGm8FhIm
one of the most memorable was @ftrain's talk about What Is Code? i'd been a fan of his writing for a long time: twitter.com/brooklyn_js/st…

We're closing with @tinysubversions, in from the frozen tundra of Boston to give us a spirited defense of "bad code". pic.twitter.com/xlw00e3xA1
likewise, @tinysubversions gave a great talk about the "bad code" attitude he brings to his side projects: twitter.com/brooklyn_js/st…

my favorite hardware demo is probably one from @benjamn, who had the whole audience on the edge of their seat: instagram.com/p/qkoZvkme_Z/

From last night, THIS IS IT RUNNING ITSELF, care of @aemkei. vine.co/v/OgLL7i2plvM (demo: aem1k.com/%E9%9B%A8/) pic.twitter.com/mBF9Jem0pD
and @aemkei came over from hamburg to give a mind-blowing demo of his matrix quine: twitter.com/brooklyn_js/st…

Google is Microsoft. Microsoft is Mozilla. Apple is Apple. @BrendanEich dishing hella dirt at @brooklyn_js' 2nd bday pic.twitter.com/UgO6kUsKpP
and who could forget about the hottest take of 2015 from JavaScript's dad, @BrendanEich: twitter.com/hichaelmart/st…

and some of my favorite talks are those that get their start at @brooklyn_js and then get picked up by larger conferences like @jsconf.

also great to see repeat speakers: i loved @jeresig's talks on streams / graph databases, and @Rich_Harris's talks on UI / builds / modules.
