Oral History of Donald Knuth Part 1
Computer History Museum
A roughly three-hour Computer History Museum oral history interview of Donald Knuth by Edward Feigenbaum, recorded in 2007. Knuth covers his family, music, early programming, his thesis, The Art of Computer Programming, and the detour into TeX and METAFONT.
HN recommends it as a superb, personal long-form look at Knuth's life and work habits.
