Bret Victor, Inventing on Principle (2012). Watch at least the platformer part: he changes the code and the game changes while it runs, and he scrubs time back. This is why I care so much about iteration time, and why live reload in Godot matters more to me than any feature list !

I watched this in my Tokyo studio days. Everyone said "sugoi" and then went back to 4 minute builds (´・ω・`)

The end of the talk is the real content. The demos are the example, the principle is the point. Most people stop watching after the demos.

I am agree, the last part changed how I think about my career, not only tools. But the platformer is what makes people stay until the end

No, Unreal has live coding for C++ now. Not the same as this, but much better than 2012. Still crashes sometimes, k***a

"Creators need an immediate connection to what they create." This is why I love REPLs. Embedded is the opposite, flash and pray

Smalltalk people have been saying this since about 1980. Lovely talk all the same. Nobody ever listens to the Smalltalk people.
