Teasy quiz

Here is a verbatim quote from an interview, published this fall. Can you guess who the interviewee was?

"Q: In the end you went to work as a computer programmer. Did you have previous experience?

A: I knew nothing about it. But this was back when there was a huge need for programming and no schools to speak of. So it was easy to get into. But I loathed it immediately."

Take a guess, even if you don't know the answer!
