I'd be interested in listening to both of you discuss this. I imagine it would be civilised and nuanced and I'd leave having developed new opinions. I imagine there's a lot of common ground.
I love Charlie's books and I love the solutions I've found through Stack Overflow.
Whether or not you've time to share a discussion, you're both awesome to me 🥰 thanks to you both!
