Back to Your Roots

The origins of things fascinates me. 'Where does this strange word come from?', 'Why is that grammer rule even a thing?', 'How was the first watch actually calibrated?'.
 

I like reading about times so long ago, the world truly was a different place. The old sailing journals from the age of the wooden tall ships. I like reading the book of Genesis, seeing all the different lineages, and the origins of different people and nations.

So it is little surprise that I am always interested in what the old timers in computer science / programming have to say. Their war stories, their advice, just getting little tiny nuggets of wisdom from them. Anything they feel like sharing. Computers as we know them are young enough that we have the sources still living among us. It's like being IN Genesis, being able to interview those who began the various nations and people we know today.

Thank you, computer gurus, for everything you share with us.
