- kls 6y agoMy mentor was a professor at MIT for a time and then founded his own company. I joined his company as a young hot shot that thought I knew it all, I was a good hacker but not a good developer and I learned that quickly working with him and his team, but that is a story for another time.

Strive for elegance."
