This is the only talk in the history of Business of Software Conference that has ever had a standing ovation. It was well deserved. This talk is heroic, funny, sad, dark, uplifting, brave, thoughtful, intelligent, inspiring and helpful talk confronting and explaining some of the stigma around mental illness we could ever put in front of the software community. As a result of this talk, a number of very high profile, role models in our community have been given the strength to share their experiences.

PLEASE SHARE THIS FREELY WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES.
