There's probably a bunch of other people could have writeen it just as well or better and it wouldn't have made a difference to the valuation of the company anyway.

You can throw up what-ifs and counterfactuals all day long - gsibble was the one who wrote the software.

That's actually quite an insulting thing to say.

But probably true nonetheless.

I'm not going to write a trieste on why my abilities were unique and let me write this software beyond to say I had worked in that specific industry for a long while, but there were not many people that could have pulled it off. When I left, they had to replace me with significantly more people at a significantly higher cost and it cost their growth and stock price quite a bit.

The problem is everyone else who worked for the company could claim the same nexus to adding $5.6bn of value to the company.

Or were you the one that made all that money and the only one who could do it?
