'What UNIX Cost Us' - Benno Rice (LCA 2020)

Benno Rice

UNIX is a hell of a thing. From starting as a skunkworks project in Bell Labs to accidentally dominating the computer industry it's a huge part of the landscape that we work within. The thing is, was it the best thing we could have had? What could have been done better?

Join me for a bit of meditation on what else existed then, what was gained, what was lost, and what could (and should) be re-learned.
