Hi folks,In this episode I say a tearful adieu. I have taken a very exciting new role at Sourcegraph, and I only want to talk about that from now on, so I'm semi-retiring this podcast.I will release a few episodes a year on this channel, and I will likely put more work than usual into them, so stay subscribed if you would like to see occasional new drops on this channel.Thanks so much for listening, and I hope to see you all on my Sourcegraph talks!Cheers,Steve

She had us solve this problem in Lisp, Smalltalk, and Prolog.So this is a fairly in-depth technical discussion that might seem a BIT on the boring sid...
