I worked there just as Len and Sandy were exiting. It was really an adventure. Sandy was extraordinary, I am a huge fan. Len was not around much, I think he worked at home mostly. I used Sandy’s office, full of cat art. They really created a whole new world .
That really must have been an adventure Robbie; some of the best years of my life was working with start-ups in the data networking world throughout the 90's including Cisco; although they were not really a start-up compared to companies like Grand Junction or even later the Gigabit ethernet start-ups, Cisco had the same energy throughout their early years of growth. You folks really were a special bunch.
@@glenrostie I joined when there were 80 employees, as the engineering recruiter. Hiring the engineers when the founders ran out of friends to hire. I hired several hundred of the engineers who made Cisco successful. Went on to work for VCs starting brand new companies, recruiting the founders. It was so awesome . The best job ever, making new networking companies . Many went on to be successful. I moved to Costa Rica and started a whole new life. Now I run nonprofits in sustainability and Permaculture, in Costa Rica and east Africa. The experience opened so many doors for me. It was an amazing journey . On the program about the nerds of Silicon Valley, I have worked directly with almost everyone featured in the documentary. Stellar human beings, a fabulous journey for a girl who grew up in trailer parks ❤️ no one could have imagined it ☺️
Wow, this is a great documentary. I've never gone this far back. I knew about the early days of John Chambers and when Cisco and Bay Networks sales reps threw leads for switches and routers back and forth, but not this. No wonder they still have such a Herculean work ethic.
We owe them everything.. along with Kirk & Yakov..
There is an amazing interview with sandy on NPR called how I built this.
Aguafria Just listened to that! Great episode, thanks for the recommendation

Jeffery Rubio why am i commenting on this i should be studying for my ccna test!

Sheldon Cooper character is partly influenced by bosack, and many other guniuses combined. Anyway big admirer of Len-founder of Cisco.

Is it just me or does Len remind us of Sheldon Cooper?
who else watching because of comp 1220
lol me
Can’t believe Stanford wouldn’t license that! Things are probably different now, but there’s a lot of hard working people who come from there
Thanks man u saved this video! But the background music of their documentary is awful haha
earthquacke lol! ruclips.net/video/mhz24AR3nIc/видео.html And I love the producer, same dude from triumph of the nerds.
Can someone tell me the guitar tune at 2:27?

The narrator is painfully unfunny.
I genuinely enjoy how much of a goober they were.
