In this episode, we dive into a fascinating mix of tech history, personal stories, and entertainment recommendations. We chat with Bob Martin, who shares insights from his new book, offering a look back at the pioneers of computing, including early breakthroughs and the industry's evolution. Bob talks about the challenges of leaving out influential figures like Margaret Hamilton, Donald Knuth, and Linus Torvalds, while also reminiscing about his early career as a self-taught developer during the 70s.
The conversation takes a fun turn when we discuss some mind-blowing tech feats, including a wild project where Doom was implemented using TypeScript’s type system—a true demonstration of the power of programming languages. For those into entertainment, we share some great picks, like the classic science fiction novels When Worlds Collide and After Worlds Collide, plus a rundown of TV shows like Reacher and the intriguing comparison between the Expanse books and TV show. Packed with history, tech talk, and plenty of geeky fun, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of computing!
