In this episode of MetaDev, Boro and Darko dive deep into the world of abstractions, exploring how these concepts not only shape our approach to programming but also influence our everyday interactions and personal growth. From discussing the nuances of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Functional Programming (FP) to uncovering the psychological underpinnings of communication and teaching, this conversation is a journey through the layers of understanding that define both the coding we do and the lives we lead. Whether you’re a seasoned programmer or just curious about the philosophical and psychological aspects of technology, join us as we navigate the complexities of abstractions, mentorship, and the continuous pursuit of learning.
