If, for nothing else, Programmers At Work has Bill Gates talking about dumpster diving for program listings.

The book is great - I love how Gary (IIRC) describes the centrality of data structures and how code kind of emerges from there.

He writes about that and many other similar things in his recent autobiography of his younger years, "Source Code" (2025).

Classic!

The 2nd part reminds me of another in my personal library:

Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs
