Or you could say he took an opportunity to work on something that was not a 20-year old codebase, and work on something strategic for the company when he was asked. <g> I posted a blog on this a long time ago and was told it was very close to the truth. Seriously, how would you have managed his career if you were in his shoes? How many of us here love working with code *someone* else developed as far back as the 1980's, with the dictate to keep 100% backwards compatibility when adding new features? That is exactly what Calvin (Richard, and Aleksey) was doing full-time for a long time. I doubt there are many people on this list who can say they are doing the same. If you have met Calvin you would know he is not a drone. These guys like doing what they are doing.
