Weird, I once read about Roel Pieper, completely randomly, in a trade magazine for Unix that I think had very few issues. He had just become head of Unix Systems Laboratories. I don't know why that article stuck with me for so long. I didn't know he was also a professor, I thought he was just an exec. Turns out he was professor of business, not computer science, though his original university education was in CS.
- emmelaich 3y agoYes, it's unclear how much theory he knew. Looks like next to nothing. Aside, I wonder if "Pied Piper" from the Silicon Valley series is a reference to him. Probably not but fun to entertain.
- roywashere 3y agoI also always wondered about that when I watched the show!
- projektfu 3y agoYeah, reading about this that all started to make a lot more sense as a deep joke.
