I mean, if 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself “Dijkstra would not have liked this”, well, that would be enough immortality for me.

Similarly I had a professor who was fond of calling people out for hacking when they were just trying random stuff until something turned — as opposed to programming.

There are a lot of shoulders to look over and a lot of not-programming to disapprove of around.
