On: Chuck Berry has died

Perhaps because many programmers and engineers are musically inclined as well?? And perhaps Chuck Berry is as much a life influence and role model to them as Alan Turing, Steve Jobs, Margaret Hamilton etc.?

I know that at least in my case, that is true.

Speaking of Steve Jobs, I assume most people around here have seen this clip but it seems especially a propos here:

One of my favorite things about this clip is the historical context: pre-iPod, pre-iPhone, pre-Apple revival.

he is still right. microsoft is still mc donalds. a lot of modern companies actually miss the spirit of apple while they created the ipod, etc.
