Just wondering, what happens when you anthropomorphize Larry Ellison?

More seriously, what was it like working on the Bonwick team, and have you accomplished a similar environment at Joyent?

Your computing history stories are really fun. Just the other day I had the opportunity to link a bunch of people to your rm -rf / story.

Awesome!

I'd love to see a collection of these a la Andy Hertzfeld's folklore.org.

I took the skipping college path through sysadmin/developer land and am only now working on a CS degree (so I already directly see the value in this answer and your comments about actually getting a degree first instead of going my route). That said, my discrete math professor will love your answer.
