Bob Colwell is awesome! I remember seeing an online talk he made... must be 25 years ago now. He talked about the development of the out of order architecture at Intel, and in general about engineering. He has some really fun anecdotes!

Honestly he is probably a big reason I switched majors from biotech over to computers, robotics and engineering in general... I even remember sending him an email about it and got a response back, wishing me good luck :) Sadly I can't find the email now, it was pre-gmail.

Some really good columns that he wrote for "Computer" magazine: https://people.computing.clemson.edu/~mark/330/colwell/at_ra...

Highly recommend his book "Pentium Chronicles"

Edit: found the talk! It was ee380 at Stanford 2003/2004. Sadly the video links seem to be broken... https://web.stanford.edu/class/ee380/ay0304.html
