Exploring the Synergy Between Bob Ross's Wisdom and Functional Programming
This presentation by Anna Sherman delves into the overlap between the wisdom of Bob Ross, renowned artist, and the fundamental concepts of functional programming. Through a mix of personal anecdotes and professional insights, Sherman elucidates how Bob Ross's approach to creativity, handling failure, and perspective can be reflected in coding practices, notably with Elixir. She discusses the utility of pure functions, higher-order functions, and immutability, relating them to Bob Ross's notions of flexibility, consistency, and positive reframing. The talk manifests as a blend of motivational advice and coding philosophy, aimed at encouraging developers to adopt functional paradigms with a fresh and optimistic mindset.
