Verity Stob
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verity Stob is a pseudonym of a programmer based in the UK who also contributes articles to journals: she first wrote for .EXE magazine (defunct), then Dr. Dobb's Journal, and currently contributes to The Register. Her texts are famous for sharp wit.
The name 'Verity' was chosen in honour of Verity Lambert[citation needed], the first producer of Doctor Who, but she denies the rumours put about by some of her former editors that her surname is a contraction of 'STOp Bit' (because the column used to run as the last article in .EXE Magazine)[citation needed].
She has been a programmer since 1984 and a columnist since 1988.
