-Are you confident that the code you write, and the changes you make, are correct? What does “correct” even mean? How do we know the code we write today won’t become a long-term liability? These persistent questions can be enough to suck all the fun out of programming, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In this talk, we’ll look at the connective tissue of good code and show how to keep it strong and supple. There is no need to wait for language features to start using contracts. We’ll suggest replacing code reviews with something better and charting the path to a more hopeful future of software.

 Algorithm composition is the process of combining existing algorithms to create new ones that solve complex problems. This talk looks at different forms of composition with different trade-offs. The talk will inspire you to think of algorithms as reusable building blocks that can be combined in novel ways.

 ### Exceptions the Other Way Around
 
-Abstract: When discussing exceptions, there is a focus on when to throw an exception and how to propagate it. But little attention is given to how to recover from an exception. By looking at error handling from what it means to recover from a mistake, we can understand the requirements to handle exceptions correctly. We'll see the technique of shifting perspectives is more broadly helpful in developing usable operations and types.

 ### MacHack 1992
 
-Somehow I convinced Apple to allow me to bring a prototype of the RISC-based Macintosh to MacHack 1992. This unit used an [M68110 with an emulator written by Gary Davidian](https://computerhistory.org/blog/transplanting-the-macs-central-processor-gary-davidian-and-his-68000-emulator/). We did not yet have a prototype with a PowerPC processor. I offered $100 to anyone who could find a piece of Mac software that would not run on the prototype. Waldemar Horwat won the $100 by finding that the TMON debugger did not run under emulation. The video from MacHack is unwatchable but does capture me presenting payment to Waldemar.
