Default On computer science as a liberal art

“In my perspective, science and computer science is a liberal art, it’s
something everyone should know how to use, at least, and harness in
their life. It’s not something that should be relegated to 5 percent of
the population over in the corner. It’s something that everybody should
be exposed to and everyone should have mastery of to some extent, and
that’s how we viewed computation and these computation devices.”

Richie was a more powerful influence than Jobs. Jobs only gets the
attention as in a sort of a way he was an attention whore.

Smart in many ways, but not without his flaws. But not for Richie,
there would be no Jobs.

To me, Richie was far more influential on the computing devices space
than Jobs and Gates combined. Dennis Ritchie deserves more credit.
