If you need another data point, I worked on a (non-software) project for Garriott. He was awesome and I'd do it again in a second.

  By my guess, you must either be an astronaut or a knight

    Or perhaps an explorer? Richard Garriott was recently elected president of the Explorers Club. https://explorers.org/news/news_detail/richard-garriott-elected-45th-president-of-the-explorers-club https://explorers.org/news/news_detail/richard-garriott-elec...

      I think the fact the commenter here said he would work for Garriott again in a heartbeat, shows the incredible damage that mergers and acquisitions do to businesses. I am a finance guy, and I think we need to find a way to rework the system to reduce or end a lot of finances excesses. Especially VC pressures, mergers and acquisitions that remove founders, and other issues like that.

      That is really cool. I would be interested in hearing more about what happened with this project
