In this episode of The Standup, Casey Muratori joins us to look at the fascinating parallels between 1968 tech and today. We examine the original context of "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and flip through the pages of Datamation from over 50 years ago. It’s a wild trip through early ray tracing, the birth of firmware, and the first mentions of virtual machines.
