Thank you, Dennis Ritchie

Isaac New­ton once said, “If I have seen a lit­tle fur­ther it is by stand­ing on the shoul­ders of Giants”, and in the hotbed of tech­nol­ogy, Den­nis Ritchie was as gigan­tic as any­one can get.

His con­tri­bu­tions to tech­nol­ogy are behind every­thing from today’s great­est smart­phones to hum­drum wash­ing machines. And almost every other thing we build today.

Thank you, Sir. We owe you more than we can fathom.
