🤡 Oh, look! Another tech blogger trying to summarize Tony Hoare's endless list of achievements in what is surely the most riveting way possible. 📚🙄 Because what the world really needs right now is yet another stale retrospective on a computer scientist who's probably too busy inventing new #algorithms to care about this #tribute. 🖥️🎉

Obituary, Tony Hoare

I knew him when he was in Oxford and regularly came across him in conferences and seminars. #Quicksort was revolutionary, and #CSP had a profound effect on my thinking and technical analysis. He was always self deprecating and very approachable.

Edit an embarrassing spelling SNAFU

RIP Tony Hoare. His "An axiomatic basis for computer programming" is one of my all time favourites CS papers.

🎩🦆 Oh, what a profound #tribute to Tony Hoare, buried under mountains of unrelated waffle about Limousin, Prigord, and other trivia nobody asked for! Skip the fluff and maybe, just maybe, you'll get to the part about the legend he's supposed to be honoring. 👏💀
