Story: Beautiful Code - Inside Greg Wilson's Vision for Software Design


Listen Later

Greg Wilson has been on a decades-long quest to transform how we teach and talk about software design. From getting rejections for using the term "beautiful code," to empowering scientists through workshops on Python and Unix, Greg has pushed to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Join us as Greg shares his failures and epiphanies along the way. You'll hear how he revolutionized research computing by showing physicists the power of profilers. How he taught grad students the elegance of shell scripts. And how he's crusaded to create a shared language to discuss software architecture with the nuance of true craftsmanship.

Greg's captivating journey reveals that with perseverance and the right examples, we can elevate software design discussion to an art form. But that we've got a long way to go. You'll come away enlightened and eager to level up your own understanding of software design.
