Dennis Richie died - goodbye master :(

Last week Dennis Ritchie, the co-creator of UNIX, died and hardly anyone covered it.

Dennis Ritchie was one of the creators of UNIX, but more importantly, the creator of the C programming language.

I owe my career in programming to Dennis. Back when I started programming I went through tons of books, they were all shit.

Then I found "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie, or "K&R C" as it is known by just about any C programmer out there and in a matter of weeks I was flying and aced my classes, got 11 (12 is the highest on the grading scale here in DK) in C and a nailed a 12 in C++ a year later.

Without "K&R C" I don't think I would have made it.

Thanks Dennis, you will be missed, R.I.P
