How Do You Evaluate a Startup?
How ambitious were you when you started Sun? How much of Sun had you figured out? How much did that vision stay true to what happened? So, I'd say I was very ambitious.

And Bill Joy, who wasn't part of the initial founding team but recruited as a founder after the fact.
