Nadella was a Program Manager at Microsoft.

This is the best comment here. Would love to understand more about the 'hollowness'. FWIW, they have a nice new building there now (Maki).

Winston was always a pleasure to meet. He had asked his students to send him a postcard when they would visit places. I sent him postcards for the first few years after MIT. He was…

It's investor money

Unfortunately, I always thought Neri's work was BS. Perhaps I am not imaginative enough. But thats what I think. Its BS. Nothing works. Maybe its interesting design, but it didn't …

I think you can still do a 20% project. This was about the performance systems, and not about workload. Workload is easy peasy. Its almost a sinecure for most people because all yo…

Thank you. This is a good point. I deleted a submission that had my email address. Perhaps they will black ball me but I dont think I said anything that was libel or false. I just …

Databricks is one the companies that raised money from In-Q-Tel. Given that there are likely to be multiple Turing award winners from that company, I'd say its money well spent.

I would go to Marvin's lectures - they were in the evening, like 7PM or so. This was early 2000's, and I was a grad student at MIT. I went to Patrick Winston, and asked him if it w…

Thank you.

I have a CS PhD from UC Davis and am looking for a job as a software engineer or a speech researcher. My project was desktop software for speech editing. I live in Berkeley, CA and…

For me going to school and majoring in CS was a exceptionally enjoyable experience. I did not think about jobs. I didn't even think of being a programmer. I took a liberal arts vie…

btw, huge congratulations to the team there. Really awesome people.
