Excellent dissection!

Gemini does this now.

I've never measured my thinking speed before. This measurement is intriguing. I feel that speed of thinking will be inversely proportional to the quality of content we write. Also, even if I can think fast and write quickly, I might have to go back and make amendments which can reduce my average thinking speed.

3 WPM really shook me as well. Today we complain about not having enough time to work on our projects, but back in the good old days, as successful as Dijkstra was, got time to spend 3 WPM and still produced close to 7k articles! Astonishing.

Just read a few of these EWDs. Some of my favorite quotes I read came from the end of these reports.

The question of whether a machine can think is the same as the question of whether a submarine can swim.

In this respect the programmer does not differ from any other craftsman: unless he loves his tools it is highly improbable that he will ever create something of superior quality.

The article is very well written and is full of insights into Dijkstra's thought process.

Looking forward to reading more EWDs.

Yeah, he was maniac for sure.

Wow, this is bad! I dreamt of working at Google since I was 16, but now I am not sure if it's the right place anymore!

funny: ok. charismatic: this is too much!

If it allows me to remain anonymous and does not tracks me, spy me etc. I am down for it!
