I now realize that simplification is not fundamentally a technical problem but rather a cultural one. Our nerd culture embraces inhuman levels of complexity. Mastering mind-boggling complexity is our mutant superpower. It is our tribal marker. Complexity is the air we breath, and so it is invisible to us. Simplification will only come from outside this culture. To disrupt programming I first have to reinvent it for a fresh audience of non-programmers.” 44:26 - Technical Matters vs Elitism47:57 - Making Programming Easier to Learn51:20 - Team Structures in Academia vs IndustryPicks git-standup (Coraline)Craft Conference (Jessica)
