Key points

  • A challenging interview needs examples and data; individual performance at work must also be considered alongside trust.
  • Humane and Gemini presentations suggest new interfaces and changes to work, but Montemagno distinguishes demonstrations from testing products.
  • For card memorization, Matteo Salvo combines personal images, phonetic encoding and familiar locations; Montemagno attempts half a deck.
