Don't get me wrong, I'm not contradicting that, nor am I advocating not learning from history. I just think that stuff like that:
"The Deep Insights of Alan Kay"
"Alan is the most important person alive in Computer Science""
is over the top.
- mythz 14y agoI never said "Alan is the most important person alive in Computer Science" (though he's obviously a contender) And I have no regrets over the title "The Deep Insights of Alan Kay"... Alan has generated a wealth of intellect, experience and insights in his works that most IT people still don't know about or even know who he is. The objective of the post is to bring some of his meaningful and powerful ideas to the surface and summarize them so it's more palatable and more accessible to more people - I think the title accurately captures this.
