This is Rich Hickey, the creator of Clojure, which is right up there as one of the best-thought-through pieces of software I've ever seen.
If you haven't read through Clojure's approach to managing mutable state, it's worth the time. http://clojure.org/about/state and also its particular set of tradeoffs, particularly being a JVM-hosted language: http://clojure.org/about/rationale On Tue, Apr 19, 2016 at 4:44 PM, Michael Comella < michael.l.come...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey friends! > > Today, I sent Sebastian a talk that's made me rethink my development style > and I realized I should open it up to a wider audience: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc > > Note: it's development-centric, but not development-specific. > > The presenter provides an explicit problem solving strategy to take when > solving hard problems and provides some important questions to ask – e.g. > what are the facts surrounding the problem?
