Donald Knuth, from the April 1996 Dr. Dobbs (Dr. Dobbs used to be worth reading)DDJ: Is the profile of a programmer (which we were discussing earlier) one of an individual who needs this sort of control?
DK: That's an interesting concept, the need for power! I've always thought of it more in other terms, that the psychological profiling is mostly the ability to shift levels of abstraction, from low level to high level. To see something in the small and to see something in the large.
