Griffith on Nostr: Gabe Newell was hired by Microsoft on a whim because he was visiting his brother. ...
Gabe Newell was hired by Microsoft on a whim because he was visiting his brother. Valve hired a lot of the guys who made Half-life from the modder community for Quake. It's a shame this model didn't catch on in the rest of society. Just seeing who's good by trying them on is probably the best way to give people a start in life. No one knows what an "education" really is, especially a four year one, but putting an 18-22 year old in a position and seeing what he does works 100% of the time. At the least, you know he's not suited to that if he fails. And more often than not they succeed. Everyone gets something out of it. It's a great model.
