Hi Domingo, This is Dr. Ferrer. I am pleased to tell you that I am still at Hendrix College, now completing my 16th year. We're doing well. We hired Dr. Mark Goodrich after Collins retired (2014), and we hired Dr. Brent Yorgey (the author of this blog post) in 2015 after Burch departed for Google. Both have been fantastic contributors to the CS program and to Hendrix College.

I'm glad that your education has served you well! I'd love to hear an update from you when you get a chance.

I love HN for all these random connections, even if I have no skin in the game!

Me too. I feel like the world is not as big as it actually is!

It's not surprising, it's actually a birthday paradox kind of thing.
