With Swizec Teller: The Value of Theory and Why Not to Build an Analytics Service

Swizec and I talk about his theory-heavy education in Slovenia and how extremely useful it's been to him. We also talk about educational overengineering, automata theory, why NoSQL is usually a mistake and whether online education has jumped the shark.
