On: Interview with Steve Klabnik

[zenogais]

Just discovered Steve on Twitter yesterday so this is a coincidentally well timed article. What initially drew me to his Twitter account were the obvious references to Deleuze and Guatarri - specifically his reference to the concept of the body without organs (BwO) in his twitter handle. Glad to see a like-minded programmer coming to many of the same conclusions I've been reaching recently.

You caught me on a good day: I've been changing my twitter handle multiple times a day some days. It's a reference to ATP, p150:

    > You never reach the Body without Organs, you can't reach it,
    > you are forever attaining it, it is a limit.

Glad to see some other Deleuzians around too. :)

Me too! Really enjoyed your article applying the concept of the assemblage and (de-/re-)territorialization to software development. Just finished a reading of "Difference & Repetition" myself and have been working on applying some of his concepts from that book and ATP to programming as well. I think software is a particularly rich area for application. Excited to see where you go next and refreshed to see someone thinking in a similar vein :)
