Host here. I’ve been on many projects that get canceled. We’re building cool stuff. We’re going above and beyond, and we’re excited. But the project encounters shifting priorities or budgeting constraints, and the work never goes anywhere. This is Ron's story of refusing to let that happen, sneaking onto the Apple campus to work, and as a result, getting his project onto millions of Apple Computers. (It's been on hn before, but this version has new details and more back story) A favorite part of mine: Ron: Frequently people would come up to me and ask me, “Do you work here?” And I’d just tell them no. And they’d say, “Oh, that means you’re a contractor.” And I’d say, “Actually, no.” Then they’d say, “But then who’s paying you?” And I’d tell them no one. Then they’d ask, “How do you live?” I’d say, “I live simply.” And then they’d ask me, “What are you doing here?” And I’d give them a demo.
