#54I'm a particular fan of Bret Victor's "The Future of Programming". [1] It's a great look at the amazing number of ideas that the CS world has come up with and how we might be able to improve the act of building programs, even from "old" ideas. [1] https://vimeo.com/71278954
Absolutely loved this! Thanks for posting.

#58"Black History": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUtAxUQjwB4 -
Probably the best, most eye opening talk on any topic, but especially on the roots of institutionalised racism, and perhaps the cause of a lot of issues today.
It is by "Akala", an English rapper, poet, and journalist at the Oxford Union and is is a shining example that you can gain a great amount of knowledge, if you are only willing to.
If you liked the Netflix documentary "13th" you will like this.

#60Mike Monteiro on the importance of a contract: "Fuck you, pay me." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h3RJhoqgK8
Got him to admit to me that he exaggerates for "effect" in the talk.
Personally, I see "exaggerating for effect" as dishonest. Manipulating facts in order to generate a response is manipulation.
