From a birds-eye-view programming can seem almost infinitely complex. There are so many paradigms, languages, design patterns and abstractions that it's difficult to see how they could all be related. What's more, we are inundated with wave after wave of frameworks and technologies, never having time to master then before the next hot shit comes around.
This mailing list focuses on ways to lift ourselves out of the tar pit, we'll examine ways to think about programming that transcend today's trends and languages and poke at the fundamental nature of code itself.
