A refreshingly pragmatic position for an academic. Where did you get that quote?
- sk0g 4y agoFrom a quick google, likely from a talk on Youtube. Matching section timestamped - https://youtu.be/O3tVctB_VSU?t=2346 https://youtu.be/O3tVctB_VSU?t=2346
- Rochus 4y agoThanks. Very impressive to hear this from the Scheme pope himself. This should make all dogmatists think.
- swyx 4y agoisn't it amazing in this day and age we can just google a 7 year old quote and basically pull up the actual video of it instantly and send it around timestamped? some days technology sucks, but other days its a wonder it works as well as it does
- DonaldPShimoda 4y ago> A refreshingly pragmatic position for an academic. There are plenty of pragmatic academics. It just happens that academia is about the only place that the non-pragmatic people can find long-term career success, but that doesn't mean there aren't many pragmatic people in the same space.
- Rochus 4y ago> There are plenty of pragmatic academics Sure, just as there are dogmatists in the industry, as the article shows.
