Some juicy quotes:<p>&gt; Milburn: Why do you have to use words like “library”? There are no libraries! Why do you always try to obfuscate every conversation? Model, View, Controller! That is how software is built! Model, View, Controller! It’s not a library! It’s a model!<p>&gt; Milburn jumped in. “What is this? Hashmaps? Shouldn’t you be sending JSON documents?”<p>&gt; I complained of this to Hinton, but Hinton hated any form of confrontation, so he excused Pranab’s behavior by saying that everyone occasionally goofs off at work.<p>&gt; Hinton was not comfortable with confrontation.<p>&gt; Hinton did not like confrontation, and he was eager to please, so I can imagine that when the Board pressed him to move forward quickly, he assured them that he would.<p>&gt; Hinton did not like direct confrontation, so he never expressed anger in person.
