Yes I was horribly disturbed on my commute last night when NPR devoted a grand total of 30 seconds to Dennis Ritchie’s passing and followed it with almost 6 minutes of review of a play by an unknown playwright about a subject that has been overdone. Here is someone who basically made modern tech possible and they devote more time to a play – and they got details of his life WRONG too. I was so pissed off, as you can tell I still am a bit.
