I still haven't read it, but I really need to. I was in the Studio Tools group in the late 90s and thought that group functioned pretty well. I also never heard anything about John behaving badly, although it was generally acknowledged that he was a big kid and had to be tutored on things like good female characters. Reading this news about John has made me very sad. I wonder now if any of my female former coworkers were the subjects of unwanted attention from John. Sigh...
- digdig 9y ago> female former coworkers I didn't hear anything about this through the grapevine, but then again Tools was probably 95% male at the time. > I was in the Studio Tools group in the late 90s Pour one out for menv! That was fun software to work on.
- gt_ 9y agoOK I’m drooling reading comments from people who worked on that software at that time. Sounds like such a blast.
- rootbear 9y agoI (mostly) loved working at Pixar. They have some of the smartest people I've ever met there. I'd love to say I worked on some amazing, cutting edge features of the animation software, but honestly, I think the most important thing I did was to update the code base from K&R C to ANSI C. It was excruciatingly tedious work and took forever, but it was a necessary pre-condition to using C++ in future components.
