All his talks are very good. ‘Boundaries’ is probably the most illuminating video I have ever seen on software architecture, its lessons I still think about when I design any complex application. Incidentally it’s also a great introduction to thinking as a functional programmer if you are used to imperative logic with state spread all over the place. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries

There are a few mistakes in this talk; I'll list just two that I noticed. 1. He calls Array(16) and then talks about there being 16 separators. Of course, there are only 15. This kinda breaks the Batman joke. 2. He writes {}+[] and claims that he's adding a list to an object, then mocks the fact that it gives a different result than []+{} which gives [object Object]. In reality, if you write ({}+[]), you also get [object Object]. I'll leave it as a puzzle for you to figure out why {}+[] is different. (Hint: Gurer vf ab bowrpg gurer.)

  Good catch. I'm sure there could be more technical inaccuracies in the talk, but again, this is for entertainment purposes I assume, not education.

  Yet in node REPL: > {}+[] '[object Object]' > []+{} '[object Object]' ... because Node's REPL and some consoles pre-wrap input that looks object-ish :)
