Bret Victor - Inventing on Principle

Postby ghosttie » Fri Feb 17, 2012 12:56 am

This isn't specific to JADE but it's so inspiring that I think any developer could benefit from watching it. The example with the binary search algorithm is probably the most useful, but the philosophy is really the root of all the good ideas.

Thanks for posting that. It provides good food for thought as to what motivates us.
I think I will give it it a second watch tonight.
