The universe is conspiring for me.
I have never heard of this guy but have read some of his work... and yesterday I start reading in details his "Graphics Programming Black Book".

And a few hours ago I went look for his name and what he did.
This guy is a Dinossaur God.
"Is performance stiIl an issue in this era of cheap 486 computers and super-fast Pentium
computers? You bet3,How many programs that you use really run so fast that you
wouldn’t be happier 3 they ran faster? We’re so used to slow software that when a
compile-and-link sequence that took two minutes on a PC takes just ten seconds on
a 486 computer, we’re ecstatic-when in truth we should be settling for nothing less
than instantaneous response."
