The Traitorous Eight

We underestimate how stigmatized these 8 gentlemen were for leaving their employer.

They were literally labeled "traitors" by their peers.

Their technical contributions are equaled by their company culture contributions.

It was "okay" to take an idea, open up a small start-up next door, and attempt to innovate faster than the parent companies.

And this concept is really core to the spirit and DNA of Silicon Valley today.

The Wikipedia article seems very biased in their favor.

I'd say that's because Wikipedia largely exists due to them.
