While I didn&rsquo;t appreciate the gravity of the list at the time, the talks have actually changed how I think about programming. Each of the presenters is not only incredibly intelligent but they have some serious credentials and achievements behind them. They in essence have much wisdom to impart. For example Rich Hickey, the creator of Closure, is brilliantly articulate and thought provoking.</p>
