I missed a weekend, sorry guys! I was busy babysitting a five year old and contemplating the LambdaConf situation. To make it up I have a totally fresh and new topic to talk about: genetic programming. I do not want to design a bidding systems, I want to make the best one possible, and for […]

This post is about the idea that at a conference on programming (or any other professional topic) it is possible to leave your political views at home.
