No, but he did invent Markdown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gruber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gruber I think his indignation is based on principle of there being a person working for Apple, being paid by Apple, who would bite the hand that feeds them. It's one thing to dig into publicly released beta's, etc. but another to violate all manner of confidentiality guarantees you voluntarily signed. Someone who can get hired at Apple, can get hired at any number of places -- they're not hurting for work. I think Gruber's upset both with the engineer and little with Apple for (the perception of) lowering their hiring standards to allow in such an amoral individual. But I'm reading a lot into his few words.
