Having spent many years working directly in Richard's code and that of many
hundreds of other programmers, I consider Richard to be by far the best
programmer I have ever come across.  So it is always a pleasure to listen
to him talk about the craft.

I think the world would benefit from Richard spending more time on the
airwaves discussing particular design decisions he has made through the
years, lessons learned, etc.  Some qualified interviewer should get into
the weeds with him (perhaps on SQLite or perhaps some other thing Richard
thinks would be instructive) and try to download as much of Richard's
substantive thought on programming as possible.

Richard: when your contract is up in 2050 maybe you can write us a book.
Sort of a "War As I Knew It" but for programming.  :-)

And if any of you know of other programmer role models of Richard's
caliber, please do share pointers!
