"I don't think many folks realize the impact that Alan Turing had on the world. He conceived of a general-purpose computer—a machine that could do any kind of calculation based on varying algorithms and inputs... That the world treated him so badly after he helped win World War II by cracking the Nazi code is to our eternal shame."
"Though I cut my teeth on BASIC, it was Turbo Pascal 5.5 that led me to a career as a software developer. Anders Hejlsberg built Turbo Pascal himself, blazing a trail in software development tools... Hjelsberg went on to create Delphi, C#, and TypeScript."
"It's hard to say who was most responsible for ushering in the personal computer age, but Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak all played a major role... I have to admit that [Jobs] led not one but two revolutions—the personal computer and the smartphone."
"I don't think many people realize how profoundly simple the World Wide Web is. One computer says 'Hey, I have a text request.'"
