An interview with Alan Kay
This interview was done in preparation for our XT20 technology conference, which was originally planned to take place in July 2020. Alan was going to be speaking at the conference and we sat down to chat with him about it. At the time of this interview (mid march), the Covid19 situation was starting to look serious but it was unclear if things would be back to normal by the summer or not.
Now its clear that it would be irresponsible to go forward with the conference so we have cancelled it, but thought we should share Alan's insights with the world anyway.
