Just watched the first minutes of the film. Looks like it’s about Sinclair, which is of-course pretty good as well. When I have time will watch the whole thing, maybe ARM will come up as well.
OK I watched the whole thing. Highly recommended! It is about the rivalry between Sinclair and acorn, where the head of acorn once worked for Clive sinclair. It is about the time before ARM.
Reminds me of the past, as my first computer was sinclair spectrum. Fun times!
ARM only shows up on a white board on the background of a discussion towards the end. So it isn't 100% absent from this movie, but it is really about the conflict between Clive Sinclair and Chris Curry (just like "Pirates of Silicon Valley" is about the conflict between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates).
Oh man. 9 years… just pick something, one thing. Just one new (or old) technology that interests you, and code something with it. That’s all.
After that, code the next thing. That’s all it takes. For reference, I still code with Object Pascal (because I like it), don’t care about newer languages. Recently got interested in lisp, picked janet[1], and coded something with it. Just do it (R)

The first commenter on the article page states that his favorite is pdp-11 assembly. In the 90s at uni I learned to write assembly on pdp-11 emulator running on a pc. It truly was a nice experience.
