Thank you! This is helpful.
Do you believe there is no positive sum because Promises are out there already, and this could have been avoided had they been released with cancellation in the first place?
Indeed, Eric Demain is amazing. Thanks for the reference. There's a lot to be discussed about computational origami and computer science. And there are many materials on the subject. I was trying to also touch the behavioral aspect of the connection between being a programmer and a folder.
Well it's a good point about the other angle of not using anyone else's code at all. I think there should be a good balance between using others' and writing your own code. It requires good judgement. In origami, however, you almost solely use other people's designs, but I think we should encourage putting in your own interpretation.
Oh there are so many good ones. Robert Lang's "Origami Design Secrets" is sort of a bible. Also, there are 2 publishers worth checking out: Origami house and Origami Shop (http://www.origami-shop.com/m_index.php)
