Cool information on developing cutting-edge technology, detailing the competition between two developers, deus ex machina in the form of Steve Jobs As Godlike Figure, rejection of Jobs to maintain the company that later wrote my favorite code editor ever.

I'm pretty sure this was on HN before, but I don't mind. This is an incredible story in a lot of ways.

Yea, it has been on HN before - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22936, but that was some 825 days ago! So I posted again by removing the / at the end.

Funny thing, when I did a searchYC, it shows http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=620698 with the same link as the previous one posted 825 days ago, while I tried to post this one, it showed the old one, instead of showing the new one.

I think the duplicity check should be time bound though, maybe a year or something like that !
