The job part is not the story of Nat Friedman but Migual de Icaza.

  Not sure about the job part being about Miguel, but it's certainly not true about Nat. Nat interned at Microsoft in 97 and I was his manager. He did a great job and was well liked. I don't think he ever applied for a full time position after graduating as I would have heard about it. I think it's just that he wanted to do something Open Source based, rather than what Microsoft was doing at the time.

    Thanks for the insights! Miguel had Visa issues if I remember it right and could not get a job because of this.

    You must be proud of Nat :)

      Oh I am. I'm proud of him and his boss, who was also on the same team.
