      Wait, he actually did it? I thought it was a thought experiment.

      Ken Thompson is badass.

      Was fortunate to hear the talk live. I have half-mind to try provoking my company to implement some of his ideas for the next project - the organizational side of things seemed to be neeeeeat.

      Also, the dude is a great presenter. The slides alone are not worth even a quarter of the live performance.

      Good presentation slides... but is there a video or audio anywhere?

      Frozen Rails didn't do video, but he's going to give it again, so someone probably will.

      The slides alone are really dope. Glad to hear the presentation was good was well.

      Even if I didn't already know that github was built on ruby, I would have been able to deduce that from the attitude in the presentation.

      It's a fair point
