It's worth noting that if every developer believed this, then Python wouldn't exist, because Python was one such project.

Guido van Rossum started working on python in the late 80s while employed by a computer science research center in Europe, then continued working on it while employed by a computer science research in the United States. He didn't start working at Google (working 50% on python) until 2005.
I was referring to this specifically, not his time at Google.
His employer didn't realize he was working on Python.
That sounds like a fascinating story, but I'm not quite sure what to search for to find it. Do you have a link, by chance?
