Please put a direct link to it.

Required:

Still available online (please put a direct link to it)
Must be a speech from a current or former developer
Speaker's popularity doesn't matter
Target audience should be other developers
It is not required that the topic is programming (the task). I'm more looking for subject generally developing here within P.SE rather than SO.
Explain why it was inspiring

(please, native english speaker, edit my question)
