I got tired of people complaining that it was too hard to use UNIX because the editor was too complicated.

That lack of programmability is probably what ultimately will doom vi. It can't extend its domain.

I wish we hadn't used all the keys on the keyboard.

You can't prove anything about a program written in C or FØRTRAN. It's really just Peek and Poke with some syntactic sugar.

If you stay up late and you have another hour of work to do, you can just stay up another hour later without running into a wall and having to stop. Whereas it might take three or four hours if you start over, you might finish if you just work that extra hour. If you're a morning person, the day always intrudes a fixed amount of time in the future. So it's much less efficient. Which is why I think computer people tend to be night people - because a machine doesn't get sleepy.

But no, I don't generally have trouble with spelling mistakes.

Today scientists, technologists, businessmen, engineers don't have any personal responsibility for the consequences of their actions.
