Look Out for Mailplane So. Funny.

No big deal right? Usually no, but this guy blogged about it (and well, it’s a good read).

Buzz Andersen talks about his love for Apple, and how he lost it. It’s a peek inside Apple Inc. and a look at the rise and fall of a software developer.

Perhaps most importantly of all, though, I began to feel more and more that my job at Apple, once a source of such growth, was now holding me back creatively.  The natural curiousity, drive, and entreprenurial spirit that had once led me to develop two significant Mac applications, write a widely read weblog, and explore a variety of experimental side projects, had been all but crushed under the weight of a gigantic bug queue and long commute.  My well respected side projects were rapidly turning into abandonware, and my once compelling web profile had been reduced to a trickle of Twitter and Flickr posts.
