An old (2009) QCon presentation from Kent Beck on some basic and obvious design principles. Really good and "easily" watchable.

Job Interviews

Brilliant essay (using a cooking metaphor) about the different styles of job interviews out there in the software industry.

To be fair, I came across this from Uncle Bob's blog.

Brian Foote, QCon interview

At infoq: http://www.infoq.com/interviews/foote-oop-code. If you don't know who Brian is, too bad, you should (http://www.laputan.org/). In my book, he's right up there with the top minds of the software development industry "school".
