I'm really sensitive to the issue you mention, and I appreciate your bringing it up.

It annoys me no end when someone talks down to me, or maybe even worse, asks about my skill level in a particular area when the implication is that they will then know how to dumb down what they're saying to a level that even I may understand.

But after watching the first 15 minutes of the video, I'm not seeing any kind of judgmental or condescending tone. Was it something in the remaining half hour?

He did ask for a show of hands of front end vs. native developers, but you have to admit that front end developers who've only done front end may never have been exposed to the concept of threads with shared memory - his topic for the next few minutes.

So my suggestion is to give it another shot. Based on the first 15 minutes, it seems like a fairly interesting and insightful talk.
