在这期Lex Fridman播客中，Ruby on Rails的创始人、37signals的联合创始人兼CTO戴维·海涅迈尔·汉森（DHH）分享了他独特的编程之路。从5岁渴望Commodore 64却得到另一台电脑的失望，到青少年时期运营BBS和参与盗版游戏，再到多次尝试学编程失败，DHH的故事充满波折。直到接触互联网和PHP，他才找到了编程的“心流”体验。而真正让他从爱好者转变为职业程序员并爱上这门艺术的，是Ruby语言。访谈中，DHH不仅深情回顾了Ruby如何以其人性化的设计美学俘获了他，还犀利地批评了JavaScript生态的过度复杂化，辩护了Chrome浏览器对开放网络的贡献，并猛烈抨击了GDPR带来的Cookie横幅是“好意通向地狱”的纪念碑。
