Leslie Lamport: How to Write Software With Mathematical Perfection

[Jonathan Fine]

Hi

Leslie Lamport may not be a household name, but he’s behind a few of them
for computer scientists: the typesetting program LaTeX and the work that
made cloud infrastructure at Google and Amazon possible. He’s also brought
more attention to a handful of problems, giving them distinctive names like
the bakery algorithm and the Byzantine Generals Problem. This is no
accident. The 81-year-old computer scientist is unusually thoughtful about
how people use and think about software.
