What this video covers
Rich Hickey's philosophical talk from the first Clojure Conj in 2010. He argues that good design comes from deliberate, away-from-keyboard thinking, and describes how to feed the background mind so it solves problems.
Why it surfaced in Hacker News
HN returns to it constantly as permission and method for thinking deeply before coding, and as an antidote to always-working anxiety.
