When he says "this one is hard to explain..." you know the best part is coming. Valuable insights

This is the most spiritual programming confession I have encountered.

This guy is pure genius. You might like or not what he says, but you can't avoid admiring him. We definitely need more people like him.

I love hearing Jon speak because when he talks about programming or development he never names off any projects, languages, software, operating systems... only the point he wants to make and the words you need to hear!

This is a problem I have whenever I have to do programming for other people, and I think it's that has sunk it's roots into how the modern economics works. The problem being the "reasons why you shouldn't make a programming language" kind of mindset. Everything today revolves around reaching some arbitrary short term turn around time for the sake of growth. Forget about trying to actually make some sort of innovation or rooting out some inefficiency, just keep things afloat and don't rock the boat.
Which is so weird. I always saw the birth of "modern tech" as a bunch of nerdy-ass cowboys taking risks, but nowadays it either feels so far from that, or a sort of "fake" version of it.

I know the feeling. Doing math, sometimes you look and just start computing. After 30 mins of writing towards the goal, youve computed or proved what you needed, but you need to reread yourself to understand what you did. Its like the unconscious takes over.

I always come back to this video. I don’t know anything about programming. This just applies and helps me with my own creative process.

So far most of the criticism I've come across towards Jai is criticism towards Blow himself and is along the lines of "As a programmer with 30+ years of experience, I don't like Jonathan Blow and his games, so this language will fail". Complete ad hominem. I think he's designing Jai from a place of necessity but also humility.

This should have been called "Jo Blow on Flow"

Jon motivates me to never give up on game development. He is a revolutionary. The future is bright.

a guy with vision, he knows what he's trying to make, and puts all his effort in accomplishing the core goal that matters in his work. This is what's lacking in many games currently

Ah, getting into The Zone. Well understood in many contexts but the depth and intensity of it when coding is on another level.

J.Blow critics often never made it far enough to understand why he does things the way he does.

6:30 That's one of the best explanations of what programming and, to an extent, math feels like.

"People are spending 8 hours a day of their life working with something ugly. Doesn't that matter?"
Wow....this is a really great thought. Sometimes we make things needlessly complicated. I think it's an old school like of thought, like the whole "you've gotta work in shitty conditions and pay your dues!" But like ...why?

I love that his approach to developing is like painting or other art. This is what people ahead of their time look like. Blow is the Van Gogh of developing.

Jon Blow is such a smart man. I admire his thinking.

First thing looked up but couldn't find was a video of Jonathan Blow dancing

"If you put your attention deeply into everything all the time, you would never get anything done" This is the story of my life! 😂

I highly respect Jonathan Blow. He is honest, practical, and expresses his thoughts eloquently.
