from his site ...
"My day job used to be mozilla.org, but on April 1, 1999, I resigned from both mozilla.org and from (what is now known as) the Netscape division of America Online. I mention this so that you will understand that if you send me mail about Mozilla, Netscape, or anything even tangentially related to them, the chance that I will ignore you is high. Sorry, but it's time to move on. Try checking on the mozilla.org site for others who can help you."
Look to Jamie for original and/or strong opinions.
jwz's old "Java sucks" screed at www.jwz.org 
illustrates a couple of things worth noticing:
He is (or was) much more preoccupied with Micro Optimization than you might expect for an ex-Lisp Language programmer who hates Cee Language and Cee Plus Plus
He hated Java Language before hating Java became popular :)
Some notable career events:
In the early '90s, worked for Lucid Inc on Gnu Emacs. Lucid soon forked off what is now XEmacs after a famous spat with the Free Software Foundation.
Did the Unix version of Netscape Navigator v. 1. Invented the word "Mozilla". Got rich.
Publicized the Worse Is Better section of Richard Gabriel's Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big talk. This took both the talk and the Worse Is Better slogan from obscurity to fame.
(It also created a misleading impression that the talk is simply anti-Unix, pro-Lisp polemic. In fact, it was received with stony silence and hostility by its original audience of Lispers.)
Responsible for much of XScreenSaver.
No longer does software for a living, now runs a San Francisco nightclub, DNA Lounge.
I guess we'll need a Hacking Democracy page (see www.hbo.com ).
