Musings on some recent videos by Dave and José

[AstonJ]

Nice thread

@Rich_Morin

I like the fact that José (like Dave) encourages folks to forage through odd corners of computer science lore, pulling out cool and useful ideas (and giving credit freely and generously to the lore’s originators).

I love this too and I think it’s a big reason why so many of us are so attracted to Elixir - for a better way of doing things (sometimes with a modern take on old ideas).

Not sure if you’ve seen it, but I highly recommend Elixir for Programmers (PragDave) - it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

I haven’t seen the videos or looked at Diet or Jeeves yet, but I am sure I will at some point - I always pay attention when Dave, José and Chris get excited about something
