Thank You (I’m sorry that it’s taken me so long to say it)
summary
A brief, personal thank-you that names mentors and recalls concrete moments: learning GOTRAN and the era of 1800 punch cards per compile, a teacher who interpolates ten-place logarithms in his head, stories about the Atanasoff-Berry Computer and why base‑2 won, and the carrying forward of ethics and craft. Eight minutes of anecdotes, gratitude, and small technical history rather than theory or how‑to.
