Learned two things:

• that I've been pronouncing Euler wrong.
• the origin story of graph theory!

[Ben Halpern]

that I've been pronouncing Euler wrong

Story of my life. How does anyone even pronounce SQL anyway?

[Ross]

Squeeel?

[rhymes]

Same here!

[Chad Windham]

see-quil?

[Richard Guay]

S - Q - L, I've never tried to make it into a word since it has no listed vowels.

[Sebastian Vargr]

As sequential query language..? :D

[Martin Kolodziejczyk]

same here

[Nick Taylor]

I've really been loving these videos Vaidehi. 🙌 Also, Ruby the silent actor stole the show for the Heroku advert. 🐕

[Vaidehi Joshi]

I agree, Ruby + @ben are the real stars here :D

[Bhupesh Varshney 👾]

That's true

[Ben Halpern]

If you tried to tell me all of this in a 90 minute lecture I'd struggle to say the least.

Great little history lesson 👌

And I'm featured in the ad 😊

[Jess Lee]

Thanks Leonhard!!

[Andy Zhao (he/him)]

I feel like our modern day equivalent of this story is solving a problem so much that you make a new framework 😅

Thanks for the history lesson!

[Michael Tharrington]

Oh man, anybody else hear this and really wanna play this game? Seems like it'd make an awesome backdrop for a scavenger hunt. 😀

[Theofanis Despoudis]

You look great on Camera Ben. Next stop Hollywood

[Sebastian Vargr]

Nice to get some consolidation exactly how it is defined, thanks!

GraphQL's name now makes sense to me! :)

[rhymes]

Thanks!!

[Hashim Warren]

🤔how do i get my video embeds to show nice like that?

[Fabio Russo]

Very nice video, love It!

P.S.: Your dog is almost identical to mine, so sweet.

[Mark Sta Ana]

This wonderful story behind the origins of Graph Theory. Really enjoyed it thank you!
