the biggest javascript conference in the universe

The conference

Last weekend I went from SĂŁo Paulo to Porto Alegre to attend to my first Javascript conference ever.

My main impression is that the speakers love the emoji đź’© (copied from some page, because I don't know how to type emojis yet). I will tell you likes it most, in my future post.

First day

The biggest javascript conference in the universe

Crowded, long lines, and very well organized. They recorded everything and published to youtube.

Is there a way to cut a youtube video by just passing the start and end seconds using command line?
