The Two Codes

Coding is one part skill, one part magic, and one part tradition. But when AI use takes out the conversation of code — the necessary language of the code itself — can the tradition be kept alive?

On this episode, host David Zvi Kalman speaks with scientist Samuel Arbesman about his new book, ‘The Magic of Code,’ and the ways that religion and coding reflect one another.
