How Scott Guthrie gets so much work done.

I've known Scott for almost 10 years but when he hired me a few years ago I had no idea how much work he gets done.

Apart from managing the teams that deliver a dozen products for Microsoft, he travels and speaks everywhere, writes these detailed blog posts, and seems to know everything that's going on everywhere. (Like if the www.asp.net site if down for 40 seconds in the wee hours of the morning.)

Well, I've finally figured it out !

Check out this rare photo that PROOVES Scott Guthrie is actually triplets !!!

This explains ALOT !

Hey Joe,

That photo was really cool!

Scott is a super man indeed!

As they say: "If you need to get the job done quickly, give it to a busy man!"

Ha, no kidding! Scott seems to be everywhere..but when he's with you he never seems in a rush to get somewhere else. Can you imagine if someone like Scott really was a triplet?

Actually Scott isn't just triplets, he's a generic DeveloperGenerator<ScottGu> factory class that is in an continual loop, creating instances of type ScottGu whenever the threshold falls below a certain minimum, set by Steve Balmer.

First, Tim Sneath with his Silverlight Scott and now Joe Stagner with his Guthrie Tiro.  I sense a Scott Guthrie Photoshop meme brewing at Microsoft. ;)

I am not sure I'm happy with MS folks at this level of responsibility are 200% buisy doing things :-)

How, the heck, did they find the time to relax, think with fresh head and take smart strategic decisions?

I (hope we) need better strategic decisions with MVC, Silverlight, Linq, Ajax etc.

Thanks guy for doing the great job.
