I love his wristwatch, just perfect.
I hope there's more of this interview computerphile will release in due course. It is a fascinating time to hear about from the guys who -- essentially -- engineered our profession.
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoThe 2000 interview of bwk is one of the best, in case you haven't read it before: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mihaib/kernighan-interview/index.html https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mihaib/kernighan-interview/index.htm...
- markcerqueira 11y agoI was fortunate enough to take a course taught by Brian Kernighan. Each lecture was a gem in and of itself. Lots of stories about his work at Bell Labs and how things came to be the way they are today. Professor Kernighan is also a great guy who is extremely personable and had every student's name learned by the second week. Absolutely impressive human being all around!
- kozukumi 11y agoHe comes across as a great guy in all the interviews I have seen of him. Chilled but still excited about the amazing things he has worked on. On a related note I absolutely love the Computerphile videos with Professor Brailsford. I could listen to that guy talk all day.

- sago 11y agoLike a 105, yeah, nicely spotted. I do love those 1980s / early 90s Casios.
