Links and Show Notes:
John has thoughts on how home chefs overcomplicate Italian recipes, and Merlin administers a pop quiz.
What starts as quick Follow-Up leads to a discussion of UNIX history, culture, and philosophy.
As a main topic, your hosts begin unpacking some of the things it took them too long to realize. Merlin provides several very interesting examples, and John does not.
But Merlin does not hold it against him.

So, to this day, over forty years later, whenever someone complains that "everyone already knows this" or they whine about how "everyone has already seen this," I always think the same thing: Every day, somebody's born who's never seen The Flintstones.
