That talk doesn't relate to the whole discipline of software development though. He's mostly arguing that if you chose ease over simplicity in your programming/code it can heavily effect the output of your work and its long t

What's the purpose/gain of layering ZMQ into this? I read the architecture bit but I'm still unclear as to what benefit this brings. I guess it allows for multiple clients to use the database at the same time? I can see how t

A lot of it would depend on what your use case is. In this case the author needs an Elgato/Geniatech EyeTV stick and app for his purposes which isn't supported on Linux by the manufacturer. It might work, but it might also not be

You don't need to install (ana|mini)conda just to get a package manager, would be why I would use Pipenv over Conda. Miniconda alone requires somewhere close to 400MB of space and comes with a whole bunch of extra things I don't n
