About Good Things in Programming

There are good things in programming, many of which are enumerated in this episode.

Among other nice things: the best features in Elixir. Lars won open source? Bots and realtime-y stuff. Not to mention a type system that screams at you.

Also: Lists in lists, in lists (in lists).

Code made by other people is not one of the things, however. Code made by other people is always upsetting. CSS does not make the list either, but Tailwind does, prompting a discussion of fractally difficult things, leaky abstractions, and progressive enhancement.
