I wrote a book. The publication date is May 29, 2024 (if you’d rather not deal with Amazon, your bookstore can also order it from the distributor Ingram Spark, or print-on-demand if they have the equipment). You can read it for free here, although it’ll be in serial form. My fond hope is that you’ll find it so compelling that you just buy the book instead of waiting 8 months to see what happens. There will be a chapter each week, 33 in all.

In Chapter 8, everyone changed places (except Janet). Matt is now at GO, Cassie is in QA and not reporting to Janet, and Dan is at Oracle. We get to relive the experience of being screwed by Microsoft, which was pretty much universal back then. We also got to make fun of Momenta, and just to rub it in, we’ll do it some more now.

The Internet was being built long before the general public ever heard of it. I went to this IETF meeting in November 1991, and actually did go to lunch with a group that included Mitch Kapor.
