Dijkstra passed away in 2002, sometimes I wonder what he would write nowadays given that the world took the opposite direction of everything he deemed as correct in software development.

The website is maintained by Edgar Graham Daylight who is a devoted follower of Dijkstra - https://www.dijkstrascry.com/about
There is lots of neat information here for Dijkstra fans.
In particular (from https://www.dijkstrascry.com/);
My objective is to extract and discuss interesting fragments from these EWDs. Each of my discussions will appear as a post in one of the following three diaries:
```
    What did Dijkstra do 50 years ago? Check out my diary of the 1960s.
    What did Dijkstra do 40 years ago? Check out my diary of the 1970s.
    What did Dijkstra do 30 years ago? Check out my diary of the 1980s.***
```
NOTE: Some interesting articles;
1) T.H.E. Multiprogramming System - https://www.dijkstrascry.com/node/77
2) Program Execution as a Living Tree - https://www.dijkstrascry.com/node/109
3) Things Dijkstra would like to do - https://www.dijkstrascry.com/node/110
