I didn't know the last one. That explains why Alan Kay spent a few minutes of one of his OOPSLA talks roasting Dijkstra[0] "I don't know how many of you have ever met Dijkstra, but you probably know that arrogance in computer science is measured in nano-Dijkstras" Which, I dunno, feels kind of funny coming from him of all people. https://youtu.be/oKg1hTOQXoY?t=342 https://youtu.be/oKg1hTOQXoY?t=342
