I also enjoyed the talk very much and spoke a lot about it to colleguages and friends. Hopefully the infoq guys release the video not so late. What I also found interesting was the allowance to try things out - not to get them right the first time. The example was refactoring to Command Pattern when it was an overkill. Another thing is the ability to step back and recognize accidental complexity and to focus on getting the essential complexity of the problem covered without adding much overhead.
