My first full time job at Apple was working on QuickDraw.

The team was very small: the manager and one other engineer.

Right before I started, Apple shipped the first PPC Macs.

The QD team had done a lot of work for that so they took long, deserved, multi week vacations. When they came back, they quit to create a startup; leaving me to be the sole QuickDraw engineer.

My parent organization was quite large but all the other folks were working on QD3D, QDGX, Printing, Type.

All of which had either just shipped or we’re still under development.
