Well TBF, I was an SRE while at Google, so I worked with a whole bunch of other teams. And tech talks were considered a good way for SREs to familiarize themselves with partner teams' various systems. So my calendar had several weekly meetings for tech talks and other presentations...and they were usually pretty yawn-inducing. And at the same time, I felt a fair bit of pressure to prepare talks about my various projects and present them: it would help to spread my knowledge and (ahem) raise my visibility. But they weren't interesting projects, and I was not interested in making presentations about them (or in general).
