Big fan of Rich Hickey. I found most of his talks really great, and applicable beyond the Clojure universe. My favorites: "Are we there yet?" and "Simple made Easy".

Simple Made Easy is one of those talks that never gets old to me. Never heard anyone talk about the power of reducing complexity in such a clear way.

Here's the link for those who are interested. https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

This is my favorite. I also really like hammock-driven development (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc)

Start with, in order: Hammock Driven Development, Simple Made Easy, The Value of Values, The Database as a Value,

+1 this comment. I do not recall in which of his talks he defines "complexity" but his definition is excellent.

that'd be "Simple Made Easy"

Agree this one is a must watch
