Abstraction Talk

I gave a talk a couple weeks on abstraction. It moves very fast, but it covers more material in one place than any individual post I've written, and includes a few things which haven't showed up in posts yet (especially near the end).

Slides are here. The slides are hard to see sometimes in the video; I recommend keeping them open to the side of the video.

Nice. I'll get a transcript made on Rev.com and share it with you for edits.

Heads up, there's a lot of use of visuals - drawing, gesturing at things, etc - so a useful transcript may take some work.

Yeah, we can have a try and see whether it ends up being worth publishing.
