    This lecture is super interesting, both from the historical perspective and from a modern perspective. Honestly, it's sad how much of her advice is still applicable, on the other hand it standing the test of time is a testament to it.
    The one thing that I really enjoy is the nano-seconds that she passes around, both because it shows how impressive current computers are, and also how much we waste with modern software
