On March 7th, 2020 I gave the opening keynote at PyTennessee 2020. Unfortunately, it wasn't recorded, so I've recreated the talk here. Topics include why I hate telling people how I learned to program, computer whiz kids, diversity and inclusion, Super Mario Bros, the Video Game Crash of 1983, and the Mercury 7 astronauts. Among other things.
