       @neauoire I know he gets flak for being pretentious and for some bad comments in the past, but I'm always pretty interested in him. Eager to listen to this.

       @ian Before listening to this, have you watched his talk about the Collapse of Civilisation?

       @neauoire I watched this last night. Definitely interesting, like most of his stuff. Actually, my thoughts about it are pretty in-line with a lot of what I've seen from Blow: a little shaky on the history and platitudes, but thought provoking, and well-directed. What did you think?

       @ian I enjoyed it a lot, he talks a lot about where he comes from and the work he did with hardware specific projects which gave me some context for his take on things.I enjoyed his rant on Rust and package managers, I don't like how dependencies are handled either and this resonated with me. I like his type of minimalism. I like that he wish people would learn more about how data is mapped to the hardware and that developers would design around this new knowledge more.
