Bret Victor – The Future of Programming from Bret Victor on Vimeo.

The most dangerous thought you can have as a creative person is to think that you know what you are doing. Once you think you know what you are doing you stop looking around for other ways of doing things, and you stop being able to see other ways of doing things – you become blind.

Great presentation from Bret Victor using the history of programming to illustrate how awareness of a discipline’s history is critical for opening perspective and fostering creative growth.  Props to @audreywatters for pointing me to this.
