IMO it's a pure waste of time to react to the headline without engaging the content.

  The headline implies the content is a waste of time to engage with.

    No it doesn't. The headline is ambiguous and you inserted your own biases without confirming they align with the real world.

    Normally I agree, but this is a Lamport talk. His stuff is pretty much always worth engaging with. I have learned more from his writings than nearly any other human in my life.

  For those who think tl;dw here's a PDF of the talk linked on the page https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/sites/default/files/presentations/linux-expo%20%281%29.pdf https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/sites/default/files/presentat... After reading the whole thing I'm not sure how the title describes the presentation.

    450 page (slide) PDF. We need a tl;dr on the tl;dw.

      Some slides are just a series with text slowly revealed. If merge them down is <1/5 of this number (the page counting ends with 41 which should've been 42 since ending slide is distinct from previous).

    Presentation showcases how coding is just a part of programming, and at a point states it explicitly: >Programming should be thinking followed by coding. Maybe if nouns were switched, i.e. Programming Isn't Coding, will've been better.

      Those words are nearly synonymous to me. Perhaps "Programming isn't thinking"?
