MIT BBS said that the microsoft phone interview is "WHO Do you think is the best coder, and why?". I feel very interesting, and I will come together. names not listed in order.
Bill Joy, the Chief Scientist for the former Sun, presided over the earliest version of BSD when Berkeley was in Berkeley. He is still the author of VI and CSH. Of course, CSH Programming Considered Harmful is another topic. It is said that he wants to see if he can write an operating system, just write a unix in three days, which is the predecessor of BSD. Of course, there is a legend, but I see his skills. Another legend is that in early 1980, Darpa let BBN add TCP / IP code developed by BBN in BERKLEY UNIX. But at that time, the graduate B is anger, refused to add BBN TCP / IP to BSD because he thinks that the BBN's TCP / IP is not written. So B Bo Bo shot, the end is an arrow, soon, it has written high-performance Berkeley TCP / IP. At that time, BBN and DARPA signed a huge contract to develop TCP / IP Stack, who knows that their code is not as good as a graduate student. So they meeting. I saw that B Boke was in the conference room at the time of Bo Bo, and the T-Shirt was not like now, it is still quite ambiguous. I saw BBN asked: How did you write it? And B Burbo: Simple, you read the agreement, then program the program. The maximum counsel is that B Boke's graduation decided to go to the industrial development, so he arrived at the time of only one office, and then he set the SPARC. . . I can't help but say like this kind of hard-working. According to Bill Joy's colleagues, when B, B, B, Boke, always reads a bunch of magazines. But often in key, B Bo Bo said, straightforward, presented beautiful ideas, let colleagues crash. Yes, he is one of the main authors of Java Spec and Jini.
John Carmack, Id Software's Founder and Lead Programmer. When I chatted with a graphic brother last month, he didn't know John Carmack, and even got greatly. But maybe study and engage in actual combat. I want to like the first person to say that the shooting game knows J brother. As long as I can get a small animation in the PC, I can launch a small animation in the PC. J brother launched the stone breaks of Castle Wolfstein, and then re-encouragement, doom, doomii, quake ... 3-D technology is pushed to the ultimate. J brother's resume said that his expertise is "Exmast 3-D Technology", it is really that the cow is not me. People who do j brothers are very happy, because major graphics card manufacturers have a new product to "tribute" to him, or if his game does not support which card, which card will basically die. At the beginning, MS's Direct 3D has to hear his opinions and modified a lot of APIs. Of course, J brothers programmed more than 14 hours a day before marriage, and they also looked down with mortals. Yes, j brother high school is popular (?), It can be said to be self-study. However, who wants to use this example to learn badly for himself, it is wrong. The Leonardo Da Vinci is still self-study (people are illegitimate, can't go to school). Ordinary people are still different from the genius. By the way, it is quite wrong, because Vinci is the meaning of people from Vinci because Vinci is the meaning of Vinci. In other words, Leonardo Da Vinci is the meaning of "Leonardo from Vinci". It is called someone else "Da Vinci".
David Cutler, the Chief Designer of VMS and Windows NT, to Microsoft, known as the best Kernel developer in Silicon Valley. At the beginning, he and his hand wrote a Bootable Kernel with basic functions in Microsoft, and said: "Who can't Write an OS IN A WEEK?" Is also a bovine sky. By the way, D Grandpa to NT3.5, manage 1500 developers, they also do design and programming, do not change the CODER nature. D grandfather is hot and hot, and the people liked their hands to slam the table to strengthen. :-) Daily conversation F-Word does not leave. When he interviewed the secretary, he must ask: "What do you think of the word 'fuck'?", Let countless beauty brakes. Finally, one day, a woman who is also a hot woman out of this problem: "That's my favorite word". So she was admitted to work to NT3.5 for D Grandpa.
Don knuth. My grandfather does not have more to say more. If you don't know if he is learning physics, you don't know the Newton. I don't know Euler. I don't know Mozart. I don't know the Anders Hejlsberg, or learn Linux, I don't know Linus Torvalds. . :-) In order to make the article complete, let's talk about a few words. Gao Grandpa Bachelor will start to write a variety of rare quirky compilers to earn faster. When he sold it to others, he received one or two thousand dollars, and those companies took Code, and they were sold to 100,000. However, I didn't see the grandfather unhappy, and my scholar's true colors. Think about it, but the early 1960s, the grandfather wrote more compiler, and the Tribute Grammar and LR (K) were brought to the future. As for the grandfather's programming competition (with Alan Kay, many high masters participating) is always the first, written to 86 years, Code Freeze, also included 2 ^ n cents awards, etc. are all familiar, even Not rap.
By the way, the high grandfather is an unlaborative writing master. He wrote a word 铿铿 铿 铿 前 前His technical article is also an absolute, detailed literacy, explaining precaution, and does not have to learn, and don't lose your light. I remember reading Contrete Mathemathics a few years ago, and I laughed from time to time, so that my mom was extremely depressed, I think I am Nerdy home, I can't save. In fact, the child is not fish, and the fun of the fish, I don't know that it is the merits of my grandfather. Speaking of writing masters, don't mention Stephen A. Cook. His article is recommended by our writing teachers, claiming to be elegant. Grandpa is a silver hair, and the body is long, always with a humble smile, quite a fairy style bone, just talking to his fairy.
Grandpa is actually a pioneer of open source movement. Although he did not walk like Richard Stallman, he donated a lot of works, you can see online, such as famous Mathematical Writing, MMixware, The Tex Book, etc., not to say enough to let him wander TEX music.
Ken Thompson, C language predecessor B language author, 1 of Unix inventors (the other is Dennis M. Riche Boss, Zun DMR), one of the author of Belle (a powerful chess program), operating system Plan 9 The main author (the other is the big cow Rob Pike, which was taken away from Google shortly). Ken grandfather is also a person in the history of the computer. In 1969, it was still a computer prehistoric era, and ordinary people believe that only large machines can run universal operating systems, and the small machine has only a college-old. As for the operating system with a high-level language, it is a smile. Ken Grandpa Nature is not a pool, so he and DMR angry, in 1969 to 1970, compilation of the first version of UNIX on PDP-7. They didn't know that a vigorous Unix legend was driven off. Ken Grandpa held UNIX with C in 1971, and C made a dream and glory of how many heroes have been doing for 20 years. Ken Grandpa has a paragraph: PDP-11 installed in Unix is the first to be installed in Bell Lab for everyday use. Soon everyone, I found that Ken grandfather always entered their account and got the highest permission. The scientists in Bell Labs are more than the sky, of course, is being depressed. So the master angrage, jumped out to analyze the UNIX code, find the back door, modify the code, and recompile the entire UNIX. Just when everyone thought that "the world is clean", they found that Ken grandfather or easily got their account privileges. After the thoughts, he had to continue depressed. Who knew that this is stuffy, it is depressed for 14 years until the Ken Grandpa has a middle. It turns out that there is a back door in the code, but the back door is not in the UNIX code, but in the C compiler of compiling UNIX code. Each time the C compiler compiles UNIX code, automatically generates the back door code. And the entire Bell Lab is the C compiler of Ken Grandpa.
Rob Pike, AT & T Bell Lab, MEMBER OF TECHNICAL STAFF, now Google research operating system. Roberts is the pioneer of UNIX, which is the earliest and Ken Thompson and Dennis M. Ritche developed UNIX, UTF-8 designers. He also revealed a small face on the evening show of American famous David Letterman, helping a fat man with a fat man. What is even earnes is that Roberts is still a silver medal winner of the 1980 Olympic. He is also a very powerful amateur astronomer, the design of the gamma ray telescope is almost used by NASA on the space shuttle. He is still one of the authors of the Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming. If beginners want to excerfene in programming, I should read these two books. They all have Chinese version. Roberts also wrote the first bitmap-based window system under UNIX and is the author of the famous BLIT terminal. Of course, Roberts or the main author of the "PLAN9," Robbo is still known as the new operating system, Plan9. It is a pity that PLAN9 has not attracted how many people pay attention. Under the anger of Robert, the vibration-shaped Muskwen Systems Software Research is Irrelevant, which has a disadvantage that the current system has not thought of incompetent and solid self-sealing. Although this article is Roberts, it is quite extreme words, but it does not say that the system development is helpless: the development cycle is getting longer, the price is getting bigger, the user is unified to a few system, Results More and more activities are measurement and repair, while true innovation is increasing.
