Engineering - Circa 1993

September 20, 2006

Citrix Engineering was fairly small in 1993.  I think there was about 15 people in the group (dev and test).  It always was surprising how much we could accomplish with such a small team.  I was thinking about this blog today when I realized that our secret probably came from our hiring process.  Instead of [...]
