Gave this classic programming advice, which I still catch people not following (though given the answers so far, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. :)) 2.

And the solution is : Donald KNUTH The clue, of course, is the quote: "Premature optimization is the root of all evil" He is also known for sending a US$2.56 check to anyone who finds an error in his programming books.

        Where on earth did you get that from? But it's the closest so far, if only in terms of letters. 3B 0W

                    Oh C*ck! I had the "TH" from the mastermind clues, and knew it wasn't an "O" in index 1. So the "U" has to be right, and then the computing clues gave me his name.

                          I never even heard of Donald Knuth....maybe I read the wrong books when I was at the university (probably), or he isn't well known in Germany (probably not) ;P
