The following is a conversation with Donald Knuth, his second time in this podcast.

Don is a legendary computer scientist, touring award winner, father of algorithm analysis,

author of the art of computer programming, creator of tech that led to late tech,

and one of the kindest and most fascinating human beings I've ever got a chance to talk to.

I wrote him a letter a long time ago, he responded, and the rest as they say is history.

We've interacted many times since then, and every time it's been joyful and inspiring.

To support this podcast, please check out our sponsors in the description.

As usual, I'll do a few minutes of As Now, no ads in the middle.

I try to make this interesting, so hopefully you'll skip, but if you do,

please still check out the sponsor links in the description. It is, in fact, the best way to

support this podcast. I use their stuff, I enjoy it, maybe you will too.

This show is brought to you by Coinbase, which is a trusted and easy-to-use platform to buy,

sell, and spend cryptocurrency. I use it, I love it. You can buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano,

Dogecoin, and all the most popular digital currencies. Ever since I did a bunch of podcasts on

cryptocurrency, there would be people that come up to me curious about cryptocurrency and ask for

advice on how they can get started with it, and I always recommend Coinbase. I think it's the

easiest way to buy cryptocurrency and also to learn about the different cryptocurrencies.

In fact, I agreed at some point recently, but also a long time ago to talk to Coinbase,

CEO, Brian Armstrong on this podcast, he's a fascinating guy. It's unrelated to the sponsorship,

but I very much look forward to that because I like the way he looks at the digital currency,

but even just the technology world. Anyway, go to Coinbase.com slash Lex.
