"The Shift: UX Designers as Business Consultants" Davide Casali-Interaction14 http://vimeo.com/86495316
Fred George - Programmer Anarchy http://vimeo.com/43690647
Ian Cooper: TDD, where did it all go wrong. http://vimeo.com/68375232 (All my objections to TDD expressed far more fluently than I could).
Not technical related but... The key to becoming a super-profitable creative agency http://vimeo.com/70026678 (though still working out how to apply it)

Any talk by Bret Victor.
