If you are an engineer or engineering manager, and like to step back once in a while to think about your work, you will love this talk. If you are not an engineering type, you may not particularly enjoy the talk, but the ideas mentioned here will end up affecting your life anyway. :-)
Venktesh Rao has this incredible ability to digest huge amount of information from many different sources and integrating them into a great narrative. (He saves you a tremendous amount of time you would have to spend reading all that stuff.) You will hear a synthesis of many ideas from:
- Alan Kay
- Neal Stephenson (Kryptonomicon)
- Joel Spolsky
- James Scott (Seeing like a State)
- Mark Andreessen (Software is eating the world)
- David Kirkpatrick (Every company is now a software company)
