I think if Jerry and Filo had a chance to run the company for a while, they could probably surprise people. They're probably as smart as Larry and Sergey, but they've never had a chance to run Yahoo the way they'd like. If they had, it would have more of a hacker culture, and Google wouldn't be trampling them so badly.

Do you stay in touch with them, and/or with Yahoo in general?

Not really. And that was 10 years ago. Most of the people I know at Yahoo now started after I left.
