  One of my earlierst HN Comments is describing my desire to work for Valve because their self-organized style seemed to be the utopia I always dreamed about. Back then I thought I didn't have what it takes to even Interview. Maybe I didn't, still I feel I've dodged a massive bullet.

  Words of wisdom over hundreds of tweets. I'd probably want to fire anyone that thinks this is a good idea.
