Other people have already mentioned Joe Armstrong's 2003 thesis, and I recommend that too. I very much appreciate Armstrong's sometimes contrarian criticism of the tech industry, and I hope I managed to match the tenor of his frustration when I wrote "Joe Armstrong figured out the right way to do everything, and nobody cared" http://www.smashcompany.com/technology/joe-armstrong-figured... About this: "I mentioned how nervous I was; me, sitting on a panel with such other esteemed and brilliant folks" I feel the same when I get put into lists with folks like Joe Armstrong. I've made no significant contributions to the tech industry, whereas other folks have made historic contributions. I'm flattered by stuff like this: https://www.yegor256.com/2016/08/15/what-is-wrong-object-ori... But it is crazy. I don't belong on a page that includes Joe Armstrong, Rich Hickey and Alan Kay. |
