Listen "Compassion & Programming: Glen Chiacchieri"
Episode Synopsis
Glen Chiacchieri has worked at the MIT Media Lab on Scratch, at Dynamicland with Bret Victor, and is now becoming a psychotherapist. He's known for his Legible Mathematics essay, his Flowsheets programming prototypes, and the Laser Socks game, among many other projects. In this conversation, we discuss: how he grounds his research in compassion, the tradeoffs between working on the "model vs UI" of programming, his software-company-in-the-making, based on Flowsheets, our shared dream for the future of open-source READMEs, and how Dynamicland does and does not point towards the future.
