Gary's talk was so good, so clear, that everyone I talked to thought the talk was bad. If there was more vague ranting or talking around the point instead of actually conveying the point, I suspect people would've liked the talk.
This also happens at work! A friend of mine went up for "senior staff" promo (and succeeded), but someone on the promo committee objected b/c "that could've been done by a SWE-2", as if figuring out a simple way to do something valuable makes it less valuable.
What’s your opinion of Rich Hickey talks then? They seems to be quite popular ...
I've only seen a few of his talks, can't speak to his talks in general, but the ones I've seen have all been "big idea" talks, which (IMO) usually don't work well outside of Bret Victor-style inspirational talks. Most of these talks (w/any speaker) end up being a rorschach test.
this is like the story about "hammer: $5, knowing where to hit the machine with the hammer: $4995," except in real life
As the saying goes - any engineer can create complexity. A great engineer creates simplicity.
They should take a look at my commits. Lots of solid SWE-1 work.

Agreed - and it goes in the other way too. Saw a talk that was basically "Top 30 jokes from r/programmer humor", no content, just jokes. Later asks someone what they thought, they praised how informative it was.
Then again, I shouldn't point fingers, my talks are full of jokes & stories.
Related: as soon as you are good at something you are expected to leave it to juniors ‘so they can learn’. So you don’t do the things you are good at anymore after you’ve shown you are good at them. Leaving room for learning is one thing, but please let me do what I’m good at!
How confident were the presenters?
