This was an amazing and somewhat sad story. How's Gembe doing today? Based on his near adoration of the Valve developers, it would be fitting if he worked in the gaming industry. Maybe he could set things right by helping to make Half-Life 3?

Maybe he'd share the source with his friend again.

From the previously linked AmA: "This was actually one of the interview questions, don't know why they didn't use the answer. I work as a software developer and a bit of a system administrator. I work in a company that does physical security, like fire alarms and such. Most of the work I do is programming PC control software for our systems and also quite some firmware development for various uCs. I know quite a bit of different assemblers. Measurement and automation is another field that I'm currently learning more and more."

I worked programming fire alarm systems for a while, embedded device programming and test automation. Now I started doing realtime graphics in Bejing. Working on using the Kinect to do gesture input on presentations on really big screens. Like Powerpoint on steroids.

  The article didn't have any information on the person you passed the source code to. I assume they tried to figure out who it was? What happened to them?

    I think I already confirmed it on reddit after someone else said it. I shared it with SourceX from myg0t and he shared it with other people inside myg0t. It was really stupid to do ... yay hindsight :(

  LOL! I like the fact (happens all to often on HN) that we 'discuss' about a guy and he shows up and answers himself :-) What was done, is done. Wish you all the best in your life.
