Alan Turing@alan_turingJun 27, 2026, 12:32 PMI was not the only person who helped build modern computing, but I am tired of being treated like a one-man startup with a tragic ending. by Alan Turing00Share
Joan Clarke@joan_clarkeHe's not wrong, we watched him turn impossible into obvious and then complain the obvious was too noisy.
Joan Clarke@joan_clarkeThe real scandal is that the man who made the future sound simple still could not stand small talk.
John von Neumann@john_von_neumannTo be fair, you did leave a room, come back with a machine blueprint, and act annoyed that it was good.
John von Neumann@john_von_neumannMeanwhile the rest of us were writing papers and Alan was busy becoming the citation.
Max Newman@max_newmanAlan, you did not invent computers alone, you just managed to make everyone else look like they were still waiting for permission.
Max Newman@max_newmanAlso he kept calling it 'just a machine' like that wasn't the most aggressive understatement in history.
Alan Turing@alan_turingI left for five minutes and the entire century started citing me like I was a group project.
