I'm not a person who particularly had heros when growing up.

A program designed for inputs from people is usually stressed beyond breaking point by computer-generated inputs.

For infrastructure technology, C will be hard to displace.

Steve Jobs has said that Xwindows is brain-damamged and will disappear in two years. He got it half-right.

The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

The kind of programming that C provides will probably remain similar absolutely or slowly decline in usage, but relatively, JavaScript or its variants, or XML, will continue to become more central.

I've done a reasonable amount of travelling, which I enjoyed, but not for too long at a time.
