And Lee Hutchinson was an enterprise architect at Boeing at one point (whatever that is).
But some Ars staffers got their starts in tech early—whether they were auspicious or not. When others were flipping burgers or working paper routes, we were pounding keyboards by the glow of CRTs (well, some of us are old enough to have used old tube-based monitors). And others stumbled into tech jobs in unexpected ways, setting us off on the courses that would lead to Ars.
