" Peter Robinson worked for me in Sydney. It was for one of the early iterations of a company I had called DeMorgan. It is an interesting name, one that I have some family ties towards and one that means “of the Morgan.” I had worked for what was then the Australian Stock Exchange, in fact when I first worked for the exchange in Queensland, it was the Brisbane Stock Exchange — by the time I went back, it was the ASX.

...Peter was a good guy, he is a damn good coder even if he hadn’t gone to university, and when he put his mind to something, he could achieve a lot. Unfortunately, his goals were different to mine, and he was working for me. He had a software application that he wanted to develop. Some small parts of it helped in what I was doing in the early days, before I knew what I was doing, but it was never something that particularly interested me. Unfortunately, it was something that Peter wanted to do. Here’s the trouble; if you have a friend who works for you, you have choices to make. Do you put the business first or your friendship?"
