Eric Schmidt wanted to fire me my first day at Sun.
We were having an all-hands presentation on a brand-new product that was being released in a few weeks and Eric wanted everyone to know about it. It was an elaboration on source control using SCCS and a unique feature known as the "Translucent Filesystem". The idea of TFS was that you could "layer" your changes to files ontop of the existing system, so that you would see all the files in a directory, including your changes, whereas another person would only see the base files without your changes. The idea was that we could save vast amounts of disk space by not having to copy everything.Related Reading
