The usual family trip ended in an unusual way: he received a job offer personally from Steve Ballmer, the same man who later shouted "Developers! Developers!" on stage. At the same time, he dropped out of Harvard before he graduated. And after 13 years of working at Microsoft, he became a millionaire.
