False version. The negative quantity part was partially true, but it didn't result in you getting a book. Source: guy that wrote the code.



Thanks for JACK, Ardour and all your work in open source through the years :)

> I was the 2nd programmer at Amazon,

Shit... I seriously hope you got some equity haha. Right place, right time.


I got enough to be able to not work for 10 years, and stayed home to raise my daughter. That was worth far more to me than the US$5B or so my stock would have been worth today, or the even larger valuation had I not left after 14 months. It's been a good life, and I'm infinitely prouder of Ardour than anything I ever did at Amazon.


this is great, i hope you don't have to work anymore!
