I had never watched Erlang the Movie before, this is truly a gem:

This is a great way to explain the benefits of Erlang. Anyone who has tried to write robust, distributed systems should immediately see the benefits. Even all of these years later.

I use Erlang the Movie and its Sequel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRbY3TMUcgQ&t=9s whenever I teach my classes at Oxford Uni. #studentlife :-)

Genius.

You caught the advancing of the movie to the 9 second mark in your URL. (I can't stand when youtube does this automatically, such as when adding videos to playlists...)

I dearly wish he'd make more videos. I also loved 'MongoDB is web scale' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs
