That was sort of a major turning point for me. It was more fun to hack with computers than to do construction. The turnaround cycle is so fast. You just think of something, you code it, and you can try it. And Stone's hacking soon spawned paying gigs.

Almost overnight, old-time NeXT developers were in a position to become Rhapsody developers. For Stone, it was like a homecoming.
