Pasta and fish - Part I
Scenes from an Italian restaurant
Back in February of 2005 two middle-aged guys met in a small Italian restaurant somewhere in Germany to discuss work and life in general over plates of pasta and fish. Both of the guys had around 20 years of IT experience each and at one time, the older guy had been the boss of the younger one. After working together at the end of the eighties, the older guy went on to join several large corporations, ending up at Microsoft. The younger one joined a startup software company of 5 people, where he remained for the following 15 years.
On that fateful evening, back in February 2005, the two discussed what it would be like to throw their experience and areas of expertise together to build something new. Something challenging for both of them.
Their first idea was a flop.
- To be continued.
