Out of curiosity has it ever seemed to you that Amazon's success changed Jeff? Or has he always been largely the same person you knew from the start?



I haven't communicated with Jeff for more than 20 years. His public persona seems largely consonant with the person I knew 27 years ago.


That's kind of sad. I feel somewhat related to this: I was 1st developer of a startup (outside of the US) and at that time I was super close to the CEO. After leaving we kind of grew appart which is a bit sad because I consider him a really good person, and I still own stock in the startup. Of course, absolutely nothing compared to Amazon (hopefully at some point it will... we always said that we wanted to be the Amazon of Financial services)


I'd imagine you'd pour beer with him and tell old war stories. Why not say hi? I bet he'll have more time for it now :)
