Plain Pattern Language
Have you ever read Design Patterns by the Gang of Four? I sure haven't! Instead, I have read A Pattern Language: a 1,200-page book on architecture that inspired the GoF. I originally picked it up hoping to build houses in The Sims… In this talk, I'd like to share what I took away from it as both a software developer and a linguist. It's a book review that also invites us to reflect on why we write code in the first place.

It is of course outdated: LLMs did not exist yet.
