Недавно читал доку по CWEB, просматривал исходники несравненного D.E.K. [здесь: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs.html]... Перечитал его текст «Email (let's drop the hyphen)» [http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/email.html], в котором он объясняет, почему перестал пользоваться email'ом. В очередной раз жутко понравился вот этот абзац:

What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration. I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study.
Особенно первые две фразы...
