I thought I was the only person who cared about the collective knowledge of the human race and the fact that so much has been lost to time simply because people didn’t care enough to keep it or write it down. Nice to know that there are others out there.

The tense moment was because Ballmer threw a chair around?

Dear not important –

I’ve heard your approach to C++ can be a problem with decent-sized teams, because not everyone instinctively agrees on which part of C++ is the part they’re not using.

Nothing special, I thing, just like a real-life-style of human race:
“fast as you can to produce “something”, hoping there are no tree ahead …”
