And @Hertz won’t let me modify my reservation on their app. When I submit a support ticket, they want my name and confirmation number again, even though I’m logged in. These travel companies are catching up to the DMV and cell phone carriers in terms of lousy customer service

Why does @united take 1 second to cancel my flight and then make me jump through hoops to get a refund. No wonder they are ranked number 51 worldwide.

@JTaylorSkinner She’s actually Generation Jones which is a bridge between Boomers and Gen X. Generation Jonesers were born from 1954 to 1965. We’re not Boomers. Not Gen X. We’re Gen Jones.

Story i heard in the 80s at DEC about the tech announcement for microcoded MicroVax. Someone in the audience asked if they had used microcode optimizers. An engineer on the dais said: "we don't need microcode optimizers. We have Dave Cutler"

Wow. Great idea: Train a model to understand intermediate representations and code generation. Boom! Ya got a tool to optimize, disassemble x86 code etc.

So if you count Windows as an influence on your life, Gordon would be too. He was also a Trustee of the Computer History Museum, and they did an oral history with him.... https://t.co/tzTidg59iJ

Dave Cutler and some of the other VMS crew disembarked to MSFT and built Windows NT, and Gordon eventually joined MSFT Research

That architecture was itself based on the VAX/VMS kernel, and the VAX had specialized instructions INSQUE/REMQUE (and later MP-safe versions) to support it....

I programmed on the VAX in 1979 until 1992, and the transaction processor TMX-32 that i worked on from 1982-1986 was the inspiration for #WebLogic kernel, which was based on work queues and worker threads, rather than thread-per-request...

Gordon Bell changed my life. He worked at Digital Equipment from 1970-1983, and as VP of R&D for Digital Equipment , he oversaw the entire VAX computing environment, the most successful 32-bit computer which altered the course of computing off of mainframes...
