Reading Wikipedia it seems he also didn't win another Nobel because the max number of recipients is 3. It's not that unusual that people get the prize a loooong time after their actual work though.
I always wonder who the right audience is for this type of virtual environment for online meetings. And I am seriously curious because I am probably too old to relate to younger professionals these days, so I may be missing something that other may find fun.

Part of this is captured with this famous quote:

So the insult is probably to a negligible fraction of programmers.
