A DEVELOPER WALKED ON STAGE DRESSED AS A 1973 ENGINEER AND "PREDICTED" THE FUTURE OF PROGRAMMING. THE TWIST: EVERYTHING HE DESCRIBED WAS ALREADY INVENTED 40 YEARS EARLIER AND WE STILL REFUSE TO USE IT.
32 minutes from Bret Victor, doing the most quietly savage talk on our entire industry.
-> The idea that lands: we write code as step-by-step text instructions and call that "Just how programming is". He shows four better ways -- all discovered in the 60s and 70s, all abandoned.
Manipulate the data directly instead of typing blind code. Tell the machine your goal instead of every tiny step. We saw all this, then walked away.
Why? The moment you're sure you know what programming is, you stop seeing anything better. That certainty is the cage.
And now AI is dragging us back to exactly what he begged for -- you describe the goal in plain words, the machine works out the how. The future he mourned is arriving anyway.
You thought text files were just how code works. This is the talk that shows it was a choice, and maybe the wrong one.
Watch this one. It'll ruin how you see your job ↓
🚨 Corrupt Cadre Recycling
ANC heavyweight Dina Pule - fired by President Zuma in July 2013 after scandals involving misuse of public funds, luxury trips for her boyfriend, and dodgy contracts - has been recycled back into Cabinet as the new Minister of Social Development.
She replaces Sisisi Tolashe, removed in May 2026 amid serious allegations of corruption, fraud, forgery in appointments, and abuse of departmental resources.
One disgraced minister out, another in. When does the cycle end, Cyril Ramaphosa?

South Africa’s 2032 Economic Demise Scenario
Nightmare Unveiled: 9 Million Jobless, Trillion-Rand Deficit, and Chaos Waiting to Explode!
What the Government isn't telling you and the reality of where we are heading.
This theory projects South Africa’s economic and social trajectory to 2032, assuming stagnant GDP growth (0% real growth) and escalating socio-economic pressures, leading to a Without Rule of Law (WROL) scenario by 2030.
CONDENSED NARRATIVE (PERFECT STORM)
South Africa, with stagnant GDP, faces 9.21 million unemployed by 2032, pushing the deficit to R1.32 trillion and debt to 100% of GDP. This fuels a WROL scenario by 2030, far worse than the 2021 riots, resembling Venezuela’s and Zimbabwe’s collapses more than Argentina’s recoverable crisis. Only 23% of the unemployed and 31% of the 15-65 age group will vote, reflecting disillusionment. A 5% GDP growth rate could avert this fate, but without it, fiscal and social breakdown is IMMINENT, echoing historical patterns of economic demise.
I’d be grateful if you could help spread the word about this. I’ve poured a lot of effort into it, and I truly believe it offers a clear and comprehensive look at what’s coming our way soon if we don’t take bold action right now.

I just learned about a concept, I can't stop thinking about.
The Four Burner Theory.
It destroyed Elon Musk's first marriage.
It explains why Bezos is jacked but divorced.
And why Zuckerberg has no real friends.
Once you understand it, your life will never be same:🧵
