Top Five Tech Talks
A personal selection of the most significant public presentations about technology.
Jonathan Blow - Preventing the Collapse of Civilization
Technological progress is not a given. This one made me want to learn compilers and low-level languages.
Bret Victor - Inventing on Principle
On the importance of an immediate connection with whatever it is you’re creating. I think about these examples often.
Rich Hickey - Hammock-Driven Development
Sometimes the best thing is to walk away from the computer. An excellent overview on focused and diffuse modes of thinking.
Liz Rice - Containers From Scratch
By far the best explanation I’ve seen on how containers work, and one of the most insightful videos on Linux in general too. I don’t even know Go, didn’t matter at all.
Cory House - The 7 Pillar Developer
Some very actionable and well-articulated principles on how to approach a career as a developer.
