Quotes

• “I wanted to build fault tolerant systems and pretty soon I realized that you can’t make a fault tolerant system on a computer, because I think in the entire computer might crash, so I needed lots of independent computers.”
• “"Messages take time", and they propagate through space, there’s no guarantee it gets there.”
• “I just want to model what’s going on in the real world”
• “We need to build a world where there are parallel processes communicating through message passing and I thought they cannot have shared memory because if they have shared memory and the remote going to be the crash.”
• “Why are people just moving the data and not the programs. We could move both of them to some intermediate point in the middle to perform the computation there.”
• “This is a thing that really scares me, are people developing large applications that they don’t understand.”
