There are few speeches that cause me to read them multiple times. Dr. Hamming’s “You and Your Research” resonates deeply with me and is one of my favorites. Hamming, defines a work ethic and sprinkles the talk with antedotes that are both kind and relatable.

However you define great things

Dick Hamming

He gave this speech many times and prefer this written version: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html

I like the idea of reserving Friday’s for thinking about deep problems.

Have a good weekend.
