- pjmorris 6y agoArguably, TAoCP has been his day job since the 60's, and it's full of code.
- bingerman 6y agoKnuth still does code basically on a daily basis. At least that's what he said in some interview (writing two complete programs per week on average, small and large, and that definitely qualifies him as software engineer among other things) and I have no reason to doubt it. https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs.html https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs.html
