Crafting Code Podcast - 020 - The Humble Programmer

 The works of Edsger W. Dijkstra have made a huge impact on the software industry. In this episode, your hosts dive into his paper, The Humble Programmer ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/355604.361591?download=true ), to discuss how well it holds up to today's programming world. We cover hardware, cleverness, abstraction, proofs, and more. Even when we disagree with his specifics, we find ourselves still nodding in general agreement.
