...but there’s a considerable upward slope between here and there.

We have a new engineer who’s taking over Windows driver development, but he only started on Monday, and he’s going to need a few months to get up to speed, just like I did when I started at Electric Cloud. (He has Linux driver experience, but not Windows file system driver experience; people with the latter are just too hard to find.) And meanwhile, I’ve got yet another extremely subtle NTFS behavior I need to emulate. I’ve been working on things outside the driver world for a while, and feeling pretty good... but it’s amazing how fast my energy goes away when I have to wrap my brain around all the interlocking constraints of a file system driver that has to pretend to look like another (undocumented) file system driver.
