A beautiful story about passion for software

September 10th 2007

My good friend Håvard sent me an e-mai l today with a link to a Google Tech Talk with Ron Avitzur, an engineer who literally snuck into Apple to work (for free) on a graphical calculator software. The story is truly amazing and inspiring. It's just great to hear about people who share a passion for code and software. Just watch the video (even my non technical friends should watch this). You won't regrets it, trust me!

It's midnight. I've been working sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. I'm ... all not being paid. In fact, my project was canceled six months ago, so I'm evading security, sneaking into Apple Computer's main offices in the heart of Silicon Valley, doing clandestine volunteer work for an eight-billion-dollar corporation. -Ron Avitzur
