       | Edit: My apologies of putting parentheses in the title (that's my
       | addition and not part of the title on the website). The reason I
       | did it: it seems that the idea of "Moldable Development" has been
       | posted more often to HN and it was never picked up. I think the
       | biggest reason might be that "Moldable Development" as a title
       | doesn't say much what it's going to be about and therefore it'd
       | not receive proper attention. I know I am like that.

       | I was watching this YouTube talk as I'm interested in exploring
       | Smalltalk for a bit due to recent HN discussions. some people
       | mentioned it was the greatest productive language ever. Others
       | said it wasn't. But what I did get to understand is that it is
       | _unique_. Also, Alan Kay is not an unknown name on these forums
       | and he 's a fun writer to read. So I figured, why not watch a
       | Smalltalk lecture?

       | I'm just about 7 min. to this video and what I saw at 7:43 blew
       | my mind. I timestamped the video so that you can get some of the
       | relevant context. It reminds me a lot of Brett Victor's Learnable
       | programming blog post [1] that has been frequently mentioned on
       | here.
