Typed "Alan Kay" into a markdown document, and CoPilot suggested completing with "I invented the term “object-oriented”, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind." (which, in fact, was exactly what I was about to enter…)

Friday night doing an internal review of a (really good) book in development, and I came across: Computers are dumb, which is beautiful.
I'm looking for examples of good source code. Stuff that's well written, or that uses interesting techniques, or that's clever without being obscure; the kind of code that you stop to read and they go "aahhh." Please drop suggestions and urls
Historically, books had indexes—lists of keywords and page numbers at the end. We generate them for our books: paper, PDF, and epub. We're wondering if anyone actually uses them. So... When I read a technical book, I use the index
