Comments on: Charles Simonyi– 1986 http://programmersatwork.wordpress.com A forum to read and discuss interviews featured in the book Programmers at Work Sun, 01 Nov 2009 05:37:35 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: mbada http://programmersatwork.wordpress.com/programmers-at-work-charles-simonyi/#comment-112 mbada Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:01:22 +0000 http://programmersatwork.wordpress.com/?page_id=3#comment-112 I like the way that Simonyi thinks. I get the impression that in his mind he has developed an X-ray machine that is able to see through a problem. Discern the facets of problem and understand their combined working. A good programmer will solve the problem first before he sits down on the machine. Brilliant way of thinking. I like the way that Simonyi thinks.

And it felt like every other paragraph had a wonderful idea for a great modern art project. Great, great stuff.
