In this episode, James discusses a great twitter thread in which developers admit what they don’t know, with wise words from @dhh @shanselman @ericajoy and @jessfraz. Humility is super important in building a more diverse and sustainable industry. So too, is more enlightened customs procedures – America needs to be more welcoming. But then you already knew that. Finally, James shows off his new old bike, a beautiful Royal Enfield and gives a paean to Japanese Wabi Sabi, the art of impermanence.
