At this time, this is probably the most recent interview with Leslie Lamport? I especially liked his view that one should write the comments for the code before writing the code. A very good computing engineer once told me that one should writeup a manual page (unix man page) kind of description before implementing any interface definition / system or library call. Also, Leslie Lamport's comment that one should start really writing what one exactly thinks (even in emails) and not dash off some lines appealed to me a lot and in my opinion, very relevant today.

Just one recommendation, change the background! I founded so hard to read from black background that I ended copying the text into word for reading it.
