I love it.
Sam is an excellent speaker, if there were only one part of the “dream” I wish
was shared, it would be “buildstream installs on your system, and if your
system has the appropriate machine architecture, then you WILL be able to build
ANY project that was meant to build on your machine, and it will be, within
reason, exactly the same” (I.e. a bit more emphasis on the containerized
environment which builds “your custom thing” anywhere reliably… download the
project, `bst build` deploy to hardware: works… the dream).
That said, beautiful interview, hope it does well.
