It\u2019s our annual surviving sales kick-off show. There\u2019s some exciting developments in Cot\xe9\u2019s life on the stage and trenchant tips from Matt and Brandon (spoiler: don\u2019t get wasted!). We also discuss the odd trend of kubernetes now actually not being for mere mortals and then Cot\xe9 complains about writing talk submissions for CFPs.
