Not within the same company, but yes. I felt like I had plenty of room to grow technically as an IC, and I didn't want to start the timer ticking on my career where I'd eventually be far enough away from current engineering practi

I see a neat GUI application that looks straight-outta-92, though the author describes it as "modern." At this point, I read "modern" in an application's description as a subtle way of saying "not old and buste

I worked in a Solaris shop from 1999-2000. I'm not insecure, and I'm not mad at ZFS. I'm just pointing out that it showed up when Sun was already circling the drain. Seamicro managed to pack 2000 cores into 10U. Cool. I'
