I happened to be going back over old Rich Hickey talks over the last week and tonight I re-read this transcript/slides and thought it made some points that are pertinent to this channel: https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Hickey_Rich/DesignCompositionPerformance.md -- interested to hear others' feedback after they've read through all of it (or watched the video... I don't have the link... I prefer to read stuff).
