Salon has an article on The art of Don E. Knuth that's kind of fluffish, but is worth reading for the Ellen Ullman quote:

"It would be very difficult these days to take a job and approach programming in that sort of algorithm and design sense, [but] it's a solace to think that there are places where people think deeply about algorithms in a general and abstract way and have notions of elegance and beauty."
