This makes me think of a good thinking talk, with a quote I pull out from time to time:

> I hate code, and I want as little of it as possible in our product.

I was always disappointed I couldn't find more talks by Jack Diederich after watching this one. His approach was so practical compared to so much programming advice out there. I see now that he's got a few more talks linked from here.

I know how I'll be spending a few hours in the next few days. Thank you for reminding me of his talk!
