Uncle Bob and Silver Bullets

Bill Gates was actually a pretty decent programmer. His technical insights peter out somewhere in the 1980s or early 90s at most, but he's had some interesting things to say about those eras. (Interesting in the sense that it's someone speaking about the eras that was there in a big way, not necessarily because he's got surprising insights into software engineering or something.)

Do you have any links to his insights? They sound pretty interesting but I'm not sure what to search for to find them.

  He didn’t meddle in software if he trusted the people who
  were working on it, but you couldn’t bullshit him for a
  minute because he was a programmer. A real, actual, 
  programmer.

I stand corrected. Thank you for the read.
