#479 โ€“ Dave Plummer: Programming, Autism, and Old-School Microsoft Stories

Lex Fridman Podcast
#479 โ€“ Dave Plummer: Programming, Autism, and Old-School Microsoft Stories

Lex Fridman Podcast
#479 โ€“ Dave Plummer: Programming, Autism, and Old-School Microsoft Stories

And he was gracious and let me come back.
