Guess I'm alone in not seeing what's so good about this talk. He only presents problems, and in an extremely disorganized way. The closest thing to a solution is "wait, hardware advancement will eventually make your slow code fast."
It's definitely entertaining, but that's about all I can give it.
- mercer 8y agoThere's a time and place for things. Posting multiple critical comments in a commemoration thread is maybe not the best time or place, and better kept for later?
- solipsism 8y agoThe post is about the talk, not the man. The comment is about the talk, not the man. I kind of doubt Joe Armstrong would support N days of mourning requiring uncritical acceptance of everything he's ever done. Joe called things like he saw them. I think we better honor him by doing the same.
