Stan Lippman impressions

Teched opened September 17 In the morning, I attended a lecture by Stan Lippman. Because the time was one hour later than the plan, this lecture was a bit cool. It doesn't matter. The heavyweight courses are arranged on Saturday. Now everyone is sitting here to see Stan's style.

 

I will go back to the company in the afternoon. I got a message saying Stan is willing to accept an interview with our magazine. Suddenly, we were not even prepared for the problem, so we drew a blank sheet of paper and wrote down a few questions in extremely sloppy English, so we rushed to the venue with Liu ruhong and Luo jingwen. When I was in a taxi, I was tired or eager. I felt dizzy and swollen. This was probably the feeling of a hypertensive patient. It was very uncomfortable. I settled my mood, it took a while to recover. I think I will remember the dizzy feeling when I think about Stan Lippman.

 

Stan is waiting for us in the VIP lounge. He is not tall. He has a one or two centimeters shorter than me. His eyes are light blue and his nose is very high. His head is bald and his head is bright, just like mine. However, his hair is pale and he looks very harmonious and intelligent when used with his bald head. He wore a white long-sleeved shirt with a pair of dark blue basketball shoes on his feet. While sitting on the sofa, I stared at his shoes and wanted to find the "Made in China" logo, but I couldn't find it. Stan's speech speed is not fast, but his pronunciation is particularly standard, especially the "th" sound. He is very authentic and will not read "think" as "sink" even if the speech speed is a little faster ".

 

We interviewed Stan and a song reporter from yesky. He started his interview. After all, yesky is more common, so the question he asked is generally in my opinion. Of course there are also a lot of things we care about, and Stan answered well.

 

When it was our turn to ask questions, theoretically there were only 20 minutes left. I have interviewed many foreigners and know the importance of punctuality. If you are punctual, people may be happy to give you more time. If you are always busy, the interview effect will inevitably be compromised.

 

I first asked him how he had been working at Microsoft for more than two years. Of course, he answered very well. This is a question that can come up with answers. After all, this is the teched venue. However, I still believe that his answer is sincere.

 

Later, the problem was compared with the technology, involving the causes of C ++/CLI, and the evaluation of managed C ++ extension. During the development of C ++/CLI, how he and herb Suter persuade Bjarne stroustrup step by step to win more support and so on. After these questions are sorted out, they will be published in the next issue of programmer magazine.

 

Apparently, he liked to answer such a question. His speech speed improved, and his gestures and expressions enriched. I stared at his vivid face and thought, Stan was a pure technical master who could see his passion for technology with a smile in his eyes. Generally speaking, in China, it people of his age refer to technical problems at this level, and most of them reveal a kind of detachment and indifference. Who has a higher level?

 

I have prepared a sharp question. I know that in the C ++/CLI development process, the main role is to enter Microsoft's Herb Sutter later than he did. I asked him who led the reform. He admitted the dominant role of herb Sutter before he said it, and praised herb Sutter's talents. He admitted that he was in a supporting role. He said that my role in creating C ++/CLI is just like my role in creating C ++ in Bjarne stroustrup. There is no pride or arrogance between words, no creation or exaggeration, and the peace and simplicity are shocking. As I recall afterwards, what Stan really touched me was this kind of treasure. In this regard, Stan has reached a kind of realm, which makes me feel like a mountain.

 

I asked him a few more questions. He was very impressed with Shanghai and asked me if I prefer Shanghai or Beijing. I said that I have never been to Shanghai. He was surprised and suggested that I go and have a look later. This is very interesting. A foreigner who came to China for the first time suggested that I go to another city in China to see that he liked China very much. So I said, I hope you will come with Herb Sutter next time. He quickly promised to go back and encourage herb.

 

The meeting was short, but it brought good news to our readers of programmer. Stan is working Li Jianzhong He planned to open a column in our magazine, create a series of technical articles, and perform in-depth analysis on the panoramic view of C ++/CLI. This is of course good news for our readers.

 

I saw Mr. Li Jianzhong's blog on the Internet. He also talked about Stan and wrote more details than I did. I suggest you check it out. Http://dreambrook.com/jzli/archive/2004/09/18/224.aspx)
