We just had a moment similar to the time we first saw content-aware scaling in action, but this time it's even better – we've seen the future of programming tools and it looks awesome.
Check out the – video above of Bret Victor's recent talk, "Inventing on Principle." Victor has worked on experimental UI concepts at Apple and also created the interactive data graphics for Al Gore's book, Our Choice.
