justbaker··on Alan Kay Thesis: The Reactive Engine (1969)
> It’s amazing that such simple websites from 1969 survive modern browsers

Yes the original browsers from 1969 might not still survive but the websites do. :)

justbaker··on Why did the container hype fizzle out – and how to reach container productivity?
Weird, wasn't it "hot" a few years ago? Or is it still gaining momentum tracking compared to then?

Lisp is fundamental programming knowledge IMO.
justbaker··on Ask HN: How do you read programming books?
>The only way to learn something (and certainly programming) at a high level is to force yourself to write down a well- defined, closed-end problem, and then sit down and solve the motherf_____r. You learn what you need to learn, build, and invent along the way, and that survives longer than the original problem.

This is how I've been successful as a self-taught developer.

justbaker··on A Brief History of Lisp Machines (2008)
