Saw a couple of other great talks. Schwern's Skimmable Code: Fast to Read, Fast to Change had some good insights on "Get in, do your thing, and get out" and "Narrow Focus", and how to use those mantras in writing easy to maintain code.
Ricardo Signes' haunted house themed talk Email Hates the Living! was a very entertaining look at the oddities of the various email RFCs.
