Programmers At Work, 22 Years Later

Posted by kdawson on from the still-crazy-after-all-these-years dept.

Firebones writes "In 1986, the book Programmers at Work presented interviews with 19 programmers and software designers from the early days of personal computing including Charles Simonyi, Andy Hertzfeld, Ray Ozzie, Bill Gates, and Pac Man programmer Toru Iwatani. Leonard Richardson tracked down these pioneers and has compiled a nice summary of where they are now, 22 years later."

    We had it all,
    Just like Bogie and Bacall.
    Starring in our old late, late show,
    Sailing away to Key Largo.

    .

    Here's lookin' at you kid,
    Missing all the things we did.
    We can find it once again, I know,
    Just like they did in Key Largo.
