Wilf is an excellent professor of (CS 95.) 202, 302 and 402 at
CarletonUniversity. He is dedicated to teaching (at least, he was when I was at
CarletonUniversity). It was not uncommon to find Wilf in the first-year labs working with students late into the evening.
Wilf was one of the founders of
TheObjectPeople. He has an intense work ethic. Late into the night, working on a problem (the nature of which I forget), I remember asking Wilf if we could get something to eat. His response was
didn't you eat yesterday? He was, of course, kidding. We ate and then returned to the office and worked well into the night.
Wilf is normally the smartest person in the room. Wilf was (and is) a strong proponent of
NeedsDrivenProgramming, which has many parallels to
ExtremeProgramming
Wilf was a provincially-ranked wrestler in high school.
