I read as many books about the psychology of a psychopath as I could and I researched what exactly happens to soldiers.

Psychopaths don't have that charming skill set. They definitely manipulate, but they do it through focused, unskilled means. They're more obsessive.

You can hear how hard I work, I think, from these stories I'm telling. I'm incredibly dedicated and I'm sort of known as that to a point that people tease me about it.

I'm obsessive about my job and I want it to be as great as it can possibly be, especially right now in these early parts of my career.

Code should run as fast as necessary, but no faster; something important is always traded away to increase speed.

Our campaign is powered by college students who are not about to let the first genocide of the 21st century happen on their watch.

Teach by works more than words.
