Since not a whole lot of people have heard of Chuck before this, I highly recommend you watch his lecture at CMU [0]. It's incredibly insightful, full of personal stories from his time at Xerox PARC, under the leadership of Robert Taylor, working with Butler Lampson and so much more about the founding of Adobe and Silicon Valley in general. He really does come across as an incredibly witty and insightful person and his sense of humor is on point as well!
