Sounds good to me.
- ChrisMarshallNY 7y agoYes. It taught me a lot. I am still obsessed with quality, to this day. That obsession was not the problem. Frustrating, but it set them apart. Note that I worked there for many years. That indicates that we probably shared many values, and that I was respected; despite sometimes holding orthogonal points of view. I do feel as if we could have done more with software, though. What works for hardware does not necessarily scale to software.
