It's TestBash Spring today and I'm "speaking". Since the talk has been pre-recorded and only the Q&A is live I'm no nervous at all which is so weird!
If you want to join the conference it's still possible at https://www.ministryoftesting.com/events/testbash-spring-2023

Talk is done and I'm glad that everything went smooth on my end. Got good feedback, got great questions and now I'm ready to relax and enjoy the other talks. Ministry of Testing did a great job on the speaker experience from CfP to talk being finished

@the_qa_guy Your talk was so valuable! I've been through similar situations myself. Usually my dev & sys admin teammates were on board to shorten that feedback loop, but sometimes it was hard to influence improvements.
@lisacrispin Thank you for the kind words!
I always find it hard to estimate if a talk will be valuable for others and it's such a relief if it is.
Many people were on board to shorten the feedback loop, they just didn't have (or make) the time to do it
@the_qa_guy Awesome, well done!! 
Do I assume correctly that this was the recorded one? Had to think back to the struggles you recently shared when I recorded a talk myself last week, I really relate. 
@lisihocke Thank you! Yes, it was the recorded one. I had another lovely chat with Richard about recorded talks and he reminded me that perfection can be boring and that small "mistakes" add life and humanity to a talk.
Have you finished recording yours? Are you satisfied with it?
@the_qa_guy That's a great point indeed. Helps to get reminded on! 
I did the final recording last weekend, did my best to be okay with good enough (your story helped!) and sent the video to organizers. Seems it turned out okay, they accepted it and some colleagues who watched it shared they got value out of it. That additional piece of validation helped to be really okay with it. (Now I need to somehow cut 20min from it for the shorter live version in May...
