> Tanenbaum reminds me of those "smart people" Art Williams was talking about in his 1987 "Just Do It" speech. Good to learn of another example of "more smart" not being "more successful". There is essentially no definition of "unsuccessful" that applies to Andrew Tanenbaum's career. He spent the last few decades doing the sorts of things you'd expect a CS professor to do, and he did them really well. He conducted research projects, graduated PhDs, and the CS textbooks he authored are almost all extremely good.
