I would be interested to hear him flush out a little more about Extreme Programming. Does he believe iterative development is bad? Does he believe tight feedback loops are bad? Or are there other aspects he doesn't like? It's interesting because it sounds like his own writing projects take an iterative approach, but I can't tell if he believes writing a program is significantly different to warrant an entirely different approach.
I took his comments on multi cores to be cautionary about not looking too hard for a problem to fit a new tool. Given his experience in looking over algorithms he probably has a good intuition about what problems are helped by parallelism. (Frankly, I'm more intrigued by clockless cpu's than by multi cores.)
Now I'm interested in reading up on Literate Programming.
