Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Edsger Dijkstra Picture Me Coding

This week we talked about the greatest philosopher of our field: Edsger Dijkstra. Most software engineers will immediately recall Dijkstra's Algorithm, for finding the shortest path between two nodes in a graph, but Dijkstra's work covers a large range of topics over 5 decades, from code quality to complexity to concurrent programming, and programming languages.In this episode, we talked specifically about the following works, including the original paper where Dijkstra first published what w...
