Look at open source projects — get fired
Ola Blini has a very interesting post about John Lam’s work on a MS version of Ruby. The most important part of it - to me - is the point that MS employees are not allowed to use Open Source projects in any way when developing new code. Hence John is not allowed to even look at MRI when working on his implementation of Ruby. All I can say is Holy Smokes ! Thats quite a restraint.
