I understand why you might infer that. I had lunch with Brian once many years ago. Despite one of my objectives at DigitalOcean being stopping Joyent, he was very open, very honest, and very polite, easy going, super friendly. I'd caution against using the abstract as a leading indicator for an upbringing, I know more than one person whom come across similar to Brian in their background and outwardly nature, but have had extreme childhood trauma.

I have achieved the happiness and positivity that Bryan has by overcoming them. My sadness is about the decades it took, but even so, I am grateful that I did.
