4792.0. "Digital the incubator" by HERON::KAISER () Thu Aug 22 1996 13:00

It's striking me that many enterprises that are our clients, prospective
clients, or past clients lack wholehearted respect for Digital today; but
that nonetheless, they're delighted to hire competent people who've worked
for Digital, especially ones who've been on the firing line at ground
level.  I can think of many examples.

  And often, we drive away whole teams of people by letting them
  work long and hard on a project and then cancelling it when it
  was at or near completion.

  I remember a fellow in Tewksbury some years ago who had his
  r�sum� posted outside his cube. It listed a whole bunch of
  projects where he'd labored long and hard (it contained
  Gemini and, I think, the 11/74, Bluefish, and some others).
  His objective?

        "To work on a product that actually ships!"

  One might also add: "and which is aggressively marketed rather
  than p**ssed away."

    And I wondered why it was so hot in here...the question is just what
    are they trying to hatch??
    
    As to Bluefish, I always thought fish should be canned.
