I watched this last week.

The part about veering constantly to navigate the maze of internal politics is fascinating. The compromises he had to make, like not being able to put in on Github initially. The easy victories, like making TypeScript open source.

The long road to success. The obligatory advice for people writing new programming languages (Hint: Mostly, don't.). His opinion about creating a new language for AI (I agree with his insight, but still think it is possible).

Overall, well worth watching.
