Talk on Capabilities for Control Effects by Martin Odersky at ICFP '24, where he discusses the use of capabilities to model effects, how we can control the lifetime of capabilities, and how that provides a simple and expressive foundation to compose control effects flexibly youtu.be/qj4e5NgndnU?...

I did start one below, but I only found a few names. No tpolecat? (Yes, I looked under his real name.) I also have no idea how to take myself off the starter pack. go.bsky.app/FEqPgxQ

current status: belatedly acquired a copy of "Managing Technical Debt" - since the term technical debt is not immune from semantic diffusion (martinfowler.com/bliki/Semant...), I am reassured by the following excerpt

In the Desert, dev & ops need to be antagonistic organizations. That equilibrium of distrust keeps the software working somewhat. In the Forest, ops helps devs take full responsibility for their decisions. Sounds impossible from the Desert. It isn't.
