Nostalgia overload. I fondly remember the days of helping Alan Cox test the early SMP Linux kernels back in the mid 90s

Whoooooa, you worked with Alan Cox???!
In a virtual sense I guess, much the same way geographically distant devs work together today. But yeah, the community was pretty small and there weren’t many people that had multiprocessor machines that were prepared to test and run Linux.
Your comment got me thinking about who I’ve worked with over the years. I guess I’ve been really fortunate to have worked with some pretty legendary computer scientists. Sometimes we take things or people for granted, and shouldn’t.
