Au contraire! 😃 > But call me back when you've managed Mozilla's NSS and Rust teams. :) My strong decades-long preference has been to stay technical, and avoid managing people. Through industrial research years, where/when most of my RFCs were written and published, and after that. Even leading technical/project teams is too much now — though I do have my scars. > That's a lot different from an academic task. After all, it's rough consensus > and running code. How would I know — my SNMP code has/had been running in all of the IBM products, including AS/400 (you can appreciate this fact only if you know what kind of beast that nice machine is). A pity you weren’t around during the “great battles” of SNMPv2 — that’s when the “roughness” of the consensus (and the clashes of the “key” participants) truly shone. 😃 > Both approaches are valuable. Back in the 90-ties, I was sure of that. Now, observing the role that (some) academics play in discussions in this WG — not so sure anymore. BTW, I’m doing R&D, not “academic research” — in case it matters (which it probably doesn’t, but then electrons are cheap).
