Check out this conference talk from December 2019 – "The Art of Code" – which culminates in a live performance of Fizzbuzz in Rockstar

Anyway, so I'm watching the hugely entertaining video to which you linked, only to find that a comment I made about Rockstar on HN a long while ago is on the video: https://youtu.be/gdSlcxxYAA8?t=3226 -- totally unexpected. Brought a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing!

The actual performance starts at 57:46 (https://youtu.be/gdSlcxxYAA8?t=3466) and ends in a higher plane of existence.

I've just finished listening to that great talk before I searched HN to check up on the original share, surprised to see such a recent repost! I don't recall laughing out loud so often at a dev talk while it also showed some amazing snippets of, well, the art of code.

If someone has other talks of this nature to recommend (and is lost in this 7d+ post), I'm all ears.

The art of code is such a good talk. I've watched it a few times and enjoy it every single time.
