I think the problem is the title. "In This Talk" doesn't look interesting enough, and in fact I hesitated before clicking. Now I'm glad I did, it's an amusing bunch of anecdotes.
I knew what the title meant the moment I saw it. Being good at giving talks is not completely unimportant for people who want to make money in a venue similar to that of Steve Jobs or so.
Still don't understand what happened, pretty sure I saw this listed as being posted less than an hour ago, but the one I saw when I searched was "1 day ago". Weird.
I believe the moderators will on occasion reset the timer for submissions they feel didn't get a good enough reception the first time around. Presumably this post is one such.

I wasn't familiar with Bill Wadge. Apparently he designed Lucid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_(programming_language)
Wadge has been blogging for a few years now, some about Lucid and more recently telling stories from his academic career.

Instead, this was a bunch of amusing anecdotes from an oldschool CS guy, no practical advice for startups whatsoever. The kind of article I enjoy! ;)
