13 Ways To Pull Off A Killer Demo Day Presentation
by oseres
You should not have the audience focused on your slides, but your words during the presentation. Bullets are an absolute no-no throughout the presentation. My presentation had one sentence at most per slide with an accent color highlighting what was a really important word for the audience to understand.

They can produce sound in large booms of several decibels. These are usually lethal to anyone hearing them, and can pass through solid materials without diminishing in strength or lethality, making them even more dangerous. These sound waves are so strong they can even stop Keen's bullets.
Jay Fields' Thoughts: Testing: Duplicate Code in Your Tests
by srt
Sadly, DRY has become a philosophy that is dogmatically and blindly applied to every aspect of programming. I'm a big fan of firing silver bullets but if you go that path your number one priority needs to be finding where a solution does not fit. In fact,
