Ben Linders's obituary for gerald-weinberg, published on InfoQ in August 2018, serves as one of the primary formal professional records of Weinberg's death and legacy. InfoQ is a widely read technical news site, and the piece reached a broad audience of software practitioners who may not have been plugged into the tighter community channels through which the news first spread.
The obituary covers the span of Weinberg's career from ibm-federal-systems-division and project-mercury-1959 through psychology-of-computer-programming-1971, the quality-software-management-framework series, and the consulting work codified in secrets-of-consulting-1985 and becoming-a-technical-leader-1986. It situates Weinberg's importance within software engineering history and notes his influence on the testing community through figures like james-bach.
The piece includes tributes from members of the community and links to Weinberg's major works. As a contemporaneous professional record written for a general software engineering audience, it complements the more personal james-bach-weinberg-tribute-2018 and provides a useful entry point for researchers approaching Weinberg's legacy from outside his immediate circle.
