Craig Federighi's commits to the AribaWeb framework (2009)
Just an interesting curiosity I stumbled across, after watching Craig Federighi talk at Berkeley Engineering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43sjym5ZS68He discussed how he took 2 years out from management to go back to his roots as a software engineer. It looks like he worked on the Java-based AribaWeb framework.
I always respected Craig as a presenter, but more so now, having seen some of his real-world contributions to a defunct 10-year-old web application framework :)

In a talk Craig Federighi gave, he said some of his most inventive work was done remotely with his NeXT Cube in a cabin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43sjym5ZS68&t=677s.

Hence gp’s comment about Apple’s long history of doing this…
⬐ Clubber⬐ Mountain_SkiesI'm not sure doing it once counts as a tradition or long history, but zinger I guess.⬐ ethbr0"Since 1985!"By putting the former head of Pepsi in charge, letting him push out Jobs, and then putting the company in such a dire financial situation that when they rehired Jobs, he had to go to Microsoft for a bailout.⬐ temp8964Jobs hired that guy to be CEO.⬐ ethbr0Jobs hired Sculley as CEO, then disagreed with him, attempted to have the board kick him out, instead had the board turn against Jobs himself, was stripped of his roles, and quit.The story about porting OS X to Intel revolves around working from home: https://www.quora.com/How-does-Apple-keep-secrets-so-well/an...
