[TUHS] Coastal cultures, collaboration, creativity and Sun vs DEC.

[Rob Pike]

I see a stylistic connection between the style of writing of the manuals
and the New York journalism, especially that of the New Yorker. When I
arrived at Bell Labs, I was a little taken aback by the change of culture
in writing, dressing, and entertainment compared to my years as a grad
student in California. I mean, I fit in - I subscribed to the New Yorker -
but I felt like a bum in a room full of high society folk.

That feeling never really left.
