- RcouF1uZ4gsC 1y agoRaymond knows everything. From microcode bugs on Alpha AXP to template meta programming to UI.
- transcriptase 1y agoI wonder how many times a Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, Bain, EY, McKinsey, or BCG consultant naively tried putting him on a shortlist for being “impacted” over the years because he was in the Top X of a spreadsheet sorted on Y.

- Discordian93 1y agoHe's a total legend, yet apparently he's never met Bill Gates in person from what he said in an interview in the Dave's Garage YouTube channel a few years ago. You'd think that someone who's been that prominent for so long in the company would have been invited to a company dinner where he was present or something.
- bombcar 1y agoMicrosoft's a big company, and billg "stepped down" in 2000. Raymond is still working, so they overlap less than may appear.
- iforgotpassword 1y agoHe has stories on his blog about windows 2 iirc, so there was an overlap from a time where they were still relatively small. So I think it's a bit odd they never talked or met.
- MattSayar 1y agoSmall thing but I love the effort he puts into actually coding up his examples instead of screenshots. For example: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20250414-00/?p=111072 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20250414-00/?p=11... He has many better ones but that's the latest one I've seen
