Does anybody remember being a member of the team that brought your university up on the ARPANET in the early 70s?
I do. I was asked as an.undergraduate to be a part of the university team. It was a great honor and we did great work. By 1976 there were about 60 nodes. Anybody remember Digital's PDPs? Great computing platforms at the time.
Does anyone remember being a member of the team of a company that was in the list of the first 100 domain names to be issued?
I do. It was 1986. i was in an engineering group that developed software of excellence.
I'm likely one of the few that is a part of both groups.
At that time those were proud moments/achievements in my career.
As time marched on, what were proud moments were dulled and replaced with becoming disillusioned with what the internet was becoming as more and more nodes were added. Software excellence became virtually non existent.
I thought I could regain those proud moments when I started at F5.
I was wrong. Too many releases with known critical errors.
Please be a part of the solution and not the problem.
