I worked at Lab126 on this project when this project was just started (a number of years ago). Given the environment in the team and the people hired to lead it, the fact that anything shipped at all is a miracle of gargantuan proportions, trust me.

Given the fact that entire 'Lab126' commented on the matter[1], I had the chance to read some of these people's resumes... Which makes your quote hard to believe :-)

[1] That's why I love HN anyway.

Sometimes the best individuals make the worst teams. Almost correlated, actually: those with the best resumes tend to think that products are made by individuals.
