Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. A very short talk, usually just a few minutes long, intended to share one idea, demo, lesson, or project quickly. In community culture flash talks are useful because they lower the barrier to speaking and keep energy high.

    In plain English: A very short talk sharing one idea quickly.

    Example: "The meetup's flash talk format worked well because beginners and veterans alike could share something useful without needing a polished forty-minute deck."
