The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Plain Text

All good teams are alike; each bad team is bad in its own way. (to paraphrase Tolstoy) Software is an incredible thing. Combined with the internet, a small team of friends can change the world overnight. Every company, no matter what their industry, must now run a tech team, even if only to maintain their website. So why are they all so bad at it? ❤️ If you would like to support what I do, I have set up a Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/noboilerplate - Thank you! 📄 All my videos are built in compile-checked markdown, transcript source code available here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate this is also where you'll find links to everything mentioned. 🖊️ Corrections are in the pinned ERRATA comment. 🦀 Start your Rust journey here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hXNd6x9sZs 👕 Bad shirts available here https://www.teepublic.com/user/no-boilerplate 🛰️ Lost Terminal is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3bDE9kszMc 🌕 Modem Prometheus is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SDnUVHAC44 🙏🏻 CREDITS & PROMO My name is Tris Oaten and I produce fast, technical videos.
