I don't think I've tweeted on this, but very much so, yes. Being nervous about a talk is a necessary part of it being any good, for me.https://twitter.com/estesp/status/978646921609973765 …

@Estep I feel like I'm going to throw up before hand like every time, and I've given at least 60-70 talks.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Edwin, do you feel that way before you teach classes too, or just in front of peers?

Classes are generally fine, but I don't really understand why. They were scary when I started, but now I guess it's a weekly routine.

I suppose it might be that I like to treat classes as conversations rather than talks...

Maybe it's a home turf thing. For me I don't get anxious speaking at my own user group.

Could be. I've done occasional guest lectures for classes elsewhere and get the usual conference nerves then...

My current hypothesis on academia vs industry nerves is that the former is more like taking part in a much wider discussion, while at the latter I also need to show I'm not (completely) out of touch with reality in my ivory tower...

The sad truth is though that if you were too connected to industry you'd be a hollow shell of a person trying to map 30 year old programming techniques to java innovations.

It's worse than I thought then... Maybe I am out of touch!
