What was the culture of Microsoft back then? Like for better and for worse, I want I want to know. There were some odd characters, including one developer who drumed his way with drumsticks around his office. And I thought, well, there were some odd characters in computer science at Duke, and that's okay. There weren't very many women, and in particular, there weren't that many technical women.
