@bruces Good thing I live in France.

@inthehands @hacksilon I remember reading the second post ages ago. Favorite part: “His contract in another division at Apple had just ended, so he told his manager that he would start reporting to me. She didn't ask who I was and let him keep his office and badge. In turn, I told people that I was reporting to him. Since that left no managers in the loop, we had no meetings and could be extremely productive.”

@Nimbius666 Ha! Wasn’t it filled with emojis? Pasting code into Skype at Skype was a rookie mistake.

@pluralistic @eff Before EFF was even founded I applied at Microsoft, but did not follow up with their interview request because I had gotten an apartment in NYC and a job in New Jersey writing docs and programming in C and FORTRAN. Decades later while living in Prague I ended up at MSFT due to Skype acquisition.
