Erick is a Solr/Lucene committer who has worked in the IT field for 30 years or so. He holds a MS from the University of Michigan and works for Lucid Imagination. He's envious of the kids these days whose workday isn't spent chasing down wild pointers in "C" like he had to when he started programming, and yearns for the days when the entire programming language was contained in a slim, trim, little book (K&R, 274 pages, small form-factor) rather than the shelf-and-a-half of 8 1/2" x 11" tomes that he has to deal with now.
