I wish Arthur Whitney had been in _Coders at Work_. I nominated him but he fell through the cracks. I think the book is weaker for it. There's a wonderful story (which you probably know but it's worth repeating) that Roger Hui, the J guy, was asked who the best programmer was. He responded by saying that Peggy Lee was once asked who the best jazz singer was and she responded, "You mean besides Ella?" (By analogy, Roger's answer was "You mean besides Arthur?")
