I think this is really good. Somehow after reading this one would have expected hamming to have achieved more. Maybe he was missing something in the essay.

This sounds to me like a good advisor. A good advisor can also be a good and accomplished researcher in their own right, but there is no implication either way. (But I also think we shouldn't be too quick to dismiss the work Hamming did—that he wasn't a high-flying rock star doesn't mean we should discount his work.)
