"""I've developed a lot of multi-threaded Java over the years, and thought I knew quite a lot about designing parallel programs. I now know I've still plenty to learn.

uemacs, my very first work editor! I had it totally tricked out with macros. I've never customized an editor as heavily as I did uemacs.

This actually relates to the zefrank article on digital natives, where in he says "digital natives have grown up in a landscape where access to information and influence has been flattened." Authority used to come, in part, from the gatekeepers of information.
