I’m Susan Lammers, author of Programmers at Work, a book of interviews I wrote and edited back in 1986 when I worked at Microsoft. That was a long while ago….Now I’m putting up this site in an experiment to make the interviews available for reading and discussion. Please send me your comments below, or you can email me.
You can reach me at: susan_lammers@msn.com
This is a great book Susan, I did discover your book in 1991, just before I started my professional career as a software developer. This was a very inspiring book.
If you manage to find the audio recording, it would be nice if you could convert them into MP3 and post them on your blog …
Best Regards from France,
Tarek

This is a wonderful book. I’ve recently just discovered it via the RetroMacCast podcast, and got my hands on a copy from Amazon, and I’m currently enjoying it.
It’s great to see this has been opened up for all to enjoy, many thanks.

Thank you Susan for keeping PAW alive and for having caught those snapshots about those great minds at work back in the prior milennia. I look forward to the discussion here about the already posted interviews and the remaining ones–particularly Dan Bricklin.

I read your book many years ago when I was a member of the now defunct Boston Computer Society and found it inspiring. Good for you for putting up this blog and providing insight into the heuristic/creative process called programming.

I’m waiting for the second release of PAW.
Paradigms changed during the last 20 years but I believe the core ideas are still the same.
Thank You Susan
