In case it wasn&#x27;t clear in the original comment, the big name is usually someone who was only tangentially involved in the project, if at all. Sometimes it&#x27;s the head of the org the project took place in. They may have approved the budget for the project, but it&#x27;s rare that the big name did any of the work.<p>This is like when Tim Bray mentioned that Amazon is great because he hasn&#x27;t experienced the same problems that have gotten a lot of press lately. Of course he&#x27;s treated well! He&#x27;s Tim Bray!<p>Matt Welsh is exactly the kind of big name that isn&#x27;t going to lose credit on something. Of course he gets credit! He&#x27;s Matt Welsh!
