What a great article!
"..I've never met Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan, or Ken Thompson, ..., knowing something of the shape of their thoughts..."
Reminded me of the anti-Foreword, Dennis Ritchie wrote for "The UNIXHATERS
Handbook"
"Here is my metaphor: your book .. Like excrement, it contains
enough undigested nuggets of nutrition to sustain life for some. But
it is not a tasty pie: it reeks too much of contempt and of envy.
Bon appetit!"
I find that incredibly witty
