    I can recommend Dealers of Lightning to anyone interested in Smalltalk and history around Alan Kay.

      Currently reading “Soul of a New Machine” starting chapter 7. Kidder’s writing has impressed the non-reader in me.

        This looks like a good lineup. I started “Soul of a New Machine” once and want to get back to it; reading that alongside the story of Windows NT would be a neat counterpoint.

          Nothing is more fun than reading on a tightly regimented schedule.

          I really can’t imagine much worse 🙃
