He made millions off his Microsoft stock (where he helped make DirectX a thing) and his life has been entirely defined by those few years.

wait, so you should not work for the money, but for fun challenges, but you should also believe that what you do should make the company successful enough to really want stock options?

He's a total prima donna, but that doesn't mean he's completely wrong, he's just got a start-up founder kind of mentality.

I have never seen a startup that values their employees as little as he does, or is as misogynistic as he is, and I work in San Francisco and hang out at bars with startup founders all the time.

i have interviewed lots of people and i would say 95% of people can write a fizzbuzz?

do people really have different experiences? there was the famous spolsky article where he was interviewing for a technical finance person, and most people had finance backgrounds, not programming backgrounds
