Must-See Tech Talks for Every Programmer (2014)

I enjoyed "The Hard Parts of Open Source" by Evan Czaplicki (the creator of the Elm programming language) a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_4EX4dPppA

It's not a talk about technology, but it's a talk on people _in_ technology. As an open source enthusiast, I found the discussion very important, especially in context where we easily tend to be distracted by technical details.

Also, not exactly recent but because it wasn't mentioned in the OP: Boundaries by Gary Bernhardt https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries

This might be the best talk I've seen about system design and combining different programming styles for great benefits in a project.
