Leslie Lamport: Zitate auf Englisch

“With so many people doing so much writing, great writing is hard to find ... If you succeed in attaining a position that allows you to do something great, if you do something that really is great, and if you realize that it’s great, there’s still one more hurdle: You have to convince others that it’s great. This will require writing.”

As quoted in [Nathan, David E., Computer scientist Leslie Lamport to grads: If you can’t write, it won’t compute, https://www.brandeis.edu/now/2017/may/commencement-lamport.html, Brandeis University, 17 January 2020, May 21, 2017]

“Thinking doesn't guarantee that we won't make mistakes. But not thinking guarantees that we will.”

In [Lamport, Leslie, Why We Should Build Software Like We Build Houses, https://www.wired.com/2013/01/code-bugs-programming-why-we-need-specs/, Wired Magazine, 17 January 2020, January 25, 2013]

“I think in other things that I've done, I can look back and see: "This idea developed from something else."”

Sometimes it would lead back to a previous idea of mine, very often it would lead to something somebody else had done. But the Bakery algorithm just seemed to come out of thin air to me. There was nothing like it that preceded it, so perhaps that's why I'm proudest of it.

As quoted in [Dahlia Malkhi, Concurrency: The Works of Leslie Lamport, https://books.google.com/books?id=z_m2DwAAQBAJ, 16 September 2019, Association for Computing Machinery and Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 978-1-4503-7273-2, 137]

“A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable.”
