Ward Cunningham interview #perl

🕗︎ - 2008-03-22

The podcast "FLOSS Weekly" (which, by the way always starts with a tacky tag-line: "Netcasts you love - from people you trust", I really hope it is a joke, but ... not sure) has interviewed Ward Cunningham, creator of the first wiki (written in Perl, yay!) among other things.

The interview was both funny and interesting, with nice anecdotes. His developement strategy of leaving out the parts other people are good at, so they have something they can contribute to the project, was just spot on.
