C.A.R. Hoare

Wow, how did you meet C.A.R. Hoare?

I was interning at MSR at the time. Sadly, I didn’t get a chance to tell him my story about the time I was volunteering at a radio station and used QuickSort to sort some papers; the manager was gobsmacked that I got it done in 15 minutes when most people usually took several hours.
