How do we create great software? What are the important skills need to properly review a PR. How do you identify assumptions of a code base and the stable contracts of a software module?
Jimmy Koppel is working on his Ph.D. in the field of program synthesis at MIT.
He was previously paid 100 thousand dollars to drop out of university by Peter Theil, but yet he still seemed to graduate with two degrees.
However, the most interesting thing to me is Jimmy working hard to teach the world how to design better software.
After spending lots of time writing programs that write programs, he developed some unique insights into what makes software good and what makes it bad and spends time teaching people his insights.
