I came here to mention that book.

AI could bear out, but it seems a lot of hype to me. Does anyone remember how Japan built up AI and their 5th generation language (Prolog) in the 1980s?

_Colossus: The Forbin Project_

When I see "MCP" I still translate that to Master Control Program.

I remember enjoying Smalltalk.

I have a side project that includes MySQL, PERL and AI(/ML). I've done unix for 34 years. I've done lots of things in those decades including building compilers, debuggers, subclassing X widgets and writing databases. I've written production code in 40 languages. I can and have done lots and still have lots to learn. I live in an RV and can go anywhere and I have a Secret and Security+.

When asked for my title I used to reply, "head geek".
