This is all made even cooler by the fact that I got passed this little clip by Ira himself, via Twitter. He's got no idea who I am, but the fact that he's sharing stuff like this freely, whenever he thinks of it, is very, very cool."There's a gap, that the first couple of years you're making stuff, it's not that great... But your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you're making is still a disappointment to you, that it's sort of crappy. A lot of people never get past that point. They quit... Everybody goes through that... You gotta know that's totally normal, and the most important possible thing you can do, is do a lot of work, a huge volume of work."

All my interviews were held in the cafeteria. Lunch was provided in the cafeteria. By the time my third interview started, I had very clearly realized that I didn't want the job.
