I’m trying to find a great software development talk I saw recorded from a conference. This was at least 4 years ago and probably a lot more, maybe 10. Not a recent video. The presenter was explaining the importance of following core principles, and the progress they had made while following their principle of minimizing latency between code changes and their effects. The presenter showed off a tech demo with a Mario-like side scrolling platform game engine that he can fast forward and rewind while changing the physics code to show the effects on the game environment.

Does anyone remember this video or who the presenter was? I’m trying to find a link to share with my colleagues.

I think it was on Google videos or Youtube.

UPDATE: I found it! It was “Inventing on Principle” by Bret Victor. https://vimeo.com/36579366

Great video, very inspirational, and still relevant today!
