a discussion with bill gates
mr bill gates,do you still write the code?how many hours do you spend on coding every day or each week?or when was the last time you wrote any code?
i still love to write code.you know i,in the early days of microsoft,i reviewed everyone’s code.and it was kind of fun when i knew all the lines of code.but,of course,we’ve gone far beyond that.most of the code i write is actually just so i can learn.i’m writing some web service programs,so i can see how hard it is to do that.i’m really trying to think now how we make it so people don’t have to write so many lines of code.sometimes when i meet with product groups,and they say something is going to be very hard to do,i say to them,“oh,i could come in this weekend and do that.”but i’m afraid they...maybe they don’t really believe me anymore,because it’s...it’s been a long time since i’ve done that,i have to admit.
mr bill gates,i was told people in microsoft work very,very,very hard.so how many hours did you work?
well,i think,you know,hard work is a really great thing.and the fact that people love their jobs,they’re very committed to their jobs,they... they believe in the vision of what we can help create.we...we are very strong on that.we also think that people should work in a way that would be sustainable.you know,we want people to have a long career.we want them to have a good balance in terms of family activities and their work.in my case,i...i generally work about,oh,60 hours a week.and so i can still be very intense i take two weeks a year where i just go off and do nothing but...other than read and sleep a little bit and think about the future of software.and that’s so i can catch up with the very rapid developments that are taking place.
bill,what is your dream computer?
well,i,you know,i’m personally someone who loves the...the tablet computer.the idea of being able to go into meetings and have my notes in ink and to be able to send off messages right while i’m in that meeting,navigate the information,annotate the presentations.you know,i...i think we...we should have every student have a tablet pc.you know,the tablet has a microphone so it can record what’s said.and eventually that’ll be connected up to the speech recognition.of course,it’ll be connected up to that wireless network.and so for part of the time i’ll use the tablet.then when i go to my desk,today i have three 22-inch lcds.so i have a big visual area,and i can have my schedule,my e-mails,my browsing,and just really take full advantage of my field of view.in fact,we’re inventing new techniques for window management and document layout because what i have today,although it’s expensive,eventually that kind of screen technology should be available to everyone.and...and so what i have when i walk around,what i have on my desk are slightly different.and the software should make it automatic that those work well together.
