I attended a testing conference in 1990 (might have been 91) where John Ousterhout gave a talk on Tcl and Expect. His opening slide was on how Tcl "had arrived" and showed a job posting looking for 5 years of Tcl experience, to which he quiped, "in 2 more years, I'll be the only one qualified for the job"
I'm sure Gosling, Stroustrup, etc. have all been in the position to make similar jokes.
- MandieD 6y agoI was in a CS class with Paul Gosling at Johns Hopkins circa 2000, and the professor read out a particularly egregious example, finishing with “and maybe Mr. Gosling's father would qualify for this entry-level position...” (By the way, he never went on about who his father was, at least not that I heard, though occasionally wore Java logo stuff, because who wouldn’t...)
- Ensorceled 6y agoI managed to snag one of the Java One t-shirts that Gosling used to illustrate and throw into the crowd.
