* I had the great good fortune of working on Chrome and even sharing an office with Linus Upson, who led the team’s engineering group. At the end of the workday I could never tell whether Linus had left or not because his desk was always so clean. (If one of his pens was lying at an angle, I knew something was wrong.) Linus had a maniacal focus on simplicity. He gave us the cutting edge we needed to make Chrome the seamless experience it is today.
