It is by far the most gorgeous C code I&apos;ve seen. In fact, in the beginning, there have been times when I used to look up his code just to feel inspired (think of it as &apos;code inspiration&apos;).&lt;p&gt;Getting to meet him and work in the same team as him for the last few years has definitely been the highlight of my Microsoft career.&lt;p&gt;Also, my wife (HN username:arithmetic) will tell you that getting a autographed copy of Showstopper was one of the best gifts I&apos;ve gotten her :)</text></comment>
