At some point I need to make a really misleading title for my talks or articles just to catch people like the GP that don't read the article or watch the talk and only comment based on what the title makes them assume it's about.
I did not watch the video. I assumed the blog post was a transcription since it contains parentheticals like "(audience laughs)".
My takeaway from the transcript was that the author was chaining together webassembly programs like a pipeline in a Unix shell. Is the video about something else entirely?
The post seems indeed a full transcript of the video, and it does mention the everything-is-a-file: "So, going back to where we were with Unix, what does it mean for everything to be a file? What is a file in the first place?"
The talk is fantastic; Xe is a prolific hacker, low-level OS engineer, and engaging speaker. If anyone prefers YT, here's the direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNDvfez6QL0
