		sasas on April 2, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Joy of Computer History Books This book provided me a real appreciation for the innovative concepts the original UNIX developers came up with so many years ago. Their impact cannot be overstated. Highly recommended read for anyone who happens to spend their time plotting away in a terminal.

I also appreciated the account of the environment at Bell Labs that allowed the UNIX lab to exist and develop applications over time.
