Collaboration, Complication, Continuity | #96

I was recently asked, by two different groups, two seemingly different questions, but I gave them both the same answer: Collaboration, Complication, and Continuity. Let's mull that situation over. I spoke at a user group recently, on their choice of topic. They, ever so gently, pointed out that I'm old as dirt and have been a geek for forty years. And their question was how has programming changed since the caveman days of the '80s? In another part of the forest, I gave a university lecture last month, and because I was the industry expert, one of the speaking prompts they gave me was, my words not theirs: "What's the difference between the pro game and the college game in the sport of geekery?" Maybe to you those two questions seem obviously "the same", but to me they seemed very different. After all, I didn't start out in geekery as a college student, but as a (weak but enthusiastic) pro. I didn't graduate from college, and in any case didn't study programming there. --- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.
