Simple Made Easy by Rich Hickey.
A very impressive presentation that answers the burning question:
Why are programmers smarter than runners?
Summary:
Rich Hickey emphasizes simplicity’s virtues over easiness’, showing that while many choose easiness they may end up with complexity, and the better way is to choose easiness along the simplicity path.
This talk will give you the tools and rhetoric to argue for simplicity in programming. I was particularly impressed by the guardrail argument with regard to testing suites. Watch the video and you will see what I mean.
