The Bizarre Mating Ritual Of The Whipnose Seadevil
If you're an angler fish, you have it rough. You spend your life in the deep sea. It's lonely. Mates are hard to find. What do you do? If you're the male Whipnose Seadevil, you spend your life exclusively in search of that elusive, life long companion. You take this task so seriously that you forgo physical development and accept a stunted life -- that is until you fix yourself to a female, and release an enzyme that digests the skin of your mouth and her body, fusing you and your new-found love down to the blood-vessel level. And so you
become dependent on her for survival, receiving nutrients via your newly formed shared circulatory system. In return, you provide valued sperm.
And therein lies the secret to building great software.
In this talk, Greg Young will make the case that polyandry and parasitic reproductive processes should serve as the model for programming. You'l learn how the Whipnose Seadevil adapts pragmatically to its deep sea environment and manages to accomplish what most of us as programmers only dream of: reduced metabolic costs in resource-poor environments and improved lifetime fitness relative to free-living competitors.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of software's great visionaries!
