Lewis' sentiments were shared by computer science concentrator and CS 51 TF Evan R. Czaplicki '12 who explained that "every coder has a specific style. it would be suspicious if two students turned in exactly the same code for a given assignment." He added that the probability that a cheating programmer would be caught in a course such as CS51 is high, as problem sets are generally graded...
...Like a coder, Wroblewski set to work trying to understand the elements of narrative structure from experienced writers at school, and endlessly hacked his manuscript. "You develop a lot of habits when you write software that are helpful in writing novels," he says. "One of them is simply holding in your mind a very large, complicated structure of some kind. A complex set of moving parts." Likewise, he usability-tested his manuscript, debugging it by talking "some poor slob into reading it and telling me which parts worked and which didn't." Over a decade, he wrote eight drafts. Only...
...times a week, she holds university-style office hours, during which her charges come by with questions about projects in development. Mayer greets them at her desk, which is cluttered with solar-powered bobble heads and other Japanese toys. Depending on the problem, she may serve as editor, designer, coder or friend. At a session a few weeks ago, a procession of earnest young men and women arrived to discuss projects they hoped would win her approval and, eventually, Brin's and Page's. Some were whimsical.

That West Point life recovered its routines quickly after 9/11--albeit with a new, underlying urgency--seemed right to her: the civilian world got too wrapped up in sorrow and memory and nerves rubbed...
...part, Zuckerberg is only following in the footsteps of another famous Harvard coder. Zuckerberg’s face may merit a seven where Bill Gates’ merited a two, but otherwise the similarities are unmistakable. Both were Harvard students, both left school during their sophomore year (although Zuckerberg has not confirmed his absence is permanent) and both were accused of stealing many of their ideas...
