上个世纪,尤其是前50年,伟大的天才很多,开拓的天才屈指可数,有些是大众皆知如爱因斯坦,图灵,而知道香农就没有那么多。作者总结了香农许多习惯,试图解密为何香农会有那么多的时间创造,或者思考。
2,Makers专访Margaret Hamilton, NASA’s First Software Engineer

Meet Margaret H. Hamilton, the woman who led man to the moon. 
On July 20th, 1969, minutes before Apollo 11's scheduled touch-down, 
there was a computer error that would have changed history had it not been 
for Margaret's programming that overrode the glitch and ultimately made 
"one small step for man, and a giant leap for mankind" a reality.

可以看到这样的工程师给人类的科学与技术带来了不可估量价值的贡献,Margaret Hamilton回忆起带着自己的孩子参观工作环境,因孩子捣乱而想到了过去编程都是面向正确,而不是现在说的“面向失败”,并为NASA引入了“Software Engineer”的概念。视频很值得一看,最后面颁发总统自由勋章,可以看到艾伦,德尼罗,盖茨夫妇,汤姆汉克斯等。计算机领域的本来就不多
