Someone just told me this yesterday, and I found it so interesting. I'd be so curious to know what he was writing / who he was writing for. Those must be some fantastic docs!
- philiplu 10y agoWell, 25 years ago, he worked down the hall from me at Microsoft, writing docs for the Fortran compiler. Not sure if he ever wrote docs for the C/C++ compiler that I worked on (this was pre-Visual C++ or maybe just as VC got started), nor do I remember how long he was there. But I do remember being thrilled that a Nebula and Campbell award winner was a co-worker.
- moyix 10y agoI asked him about this at a reading he did a few months ago – apparently he still does technical writing for them, and at least some of it is still in their C++ documentation.
