Master Planner: Fred Brooks Shows How to Design Anything | Magazine
I was struck by the opening question in this interview with Fred Brooks: "How does a guy who grew up in the 1940s among North Carolina tobacco farmers get into computers?" Brooks has an interesting story of how he came to be where he is today. He is the person he is because of where he came from, and I think that those of us living in rural parts of the U.S. sometimes consider this a liability when in fact it can be a great source of inspiration, motivation, and driver of success.
