My experience with Midori people was a little like the jokes people tell about BMW owners and vegans.
You knew who they were because they wouldn't stop talking about Midori. It's a neat project, I liked hearing the stories.

Turns out when you have a project staffed with extremely high up engineers and no real production deployment, it's easy to keep up engineering standards. The idea that a normal team with normal issues wasn't as good seemed to really upset one of the midori people I worked with.
I definitely recall seeing passionate discussions with engineers whose levels ranged from 62 to 69+ where the technical merit of the arguments was the gold standard, not what the most senior engineer said. In contrast, my experience working with partner and DE level engineers in other parts of MS was that of "what I say goes"
Guy was passionate and smart and just a lousy leader.
