Isn't that Jonathan blow? (to be clear, I'm a big fan of Casey)

I believe this is referencing a meme on the primeagen's standup podcast, where Casey is referred to as legendary while he feels undeserving of this title. Titles aside, his talk is really insightful and it is super interesting to do a deep dive on these old computer/programming topics as the modern concepts were being discovered

Hah, I wasn't aware of that. I was sort of referring to what seems to be not such a meme that jblow is always introduced like that. It just seems weird, even if true...

Yeah Ive been meaning to watch that talk - I love listening to pretty much anything Casey says/does. He's extremely thoughtful and fair.

Personally I'm quite sure this is super interesting, but I don't really have 3 hours to listen to this, even 1.5h at 2x speed is too much. I would very much prefer something written down, so I could absorb this at my own pace. I know, gift horse, but still.

There is a 45 min version at Primeagen's "The Standup"

Exactly!

I think Casey is currently the most informed person to make a series of books or articles summarizing the history of SW Engineering, all the lessons learned and forgotten, and all the good stuff that was published and still hasn't gained traction in the practice

Thank you for bringing a term to a thing that has been bugging me: people who purport to be devs but spend most of their time on podcasts and blogs talking and writing about being devs, rather than just being devs.
