While looking at all this, I can't help but keep asking, "Who is this guy?". I'm sure he's not some random web developer who thunk this up one day.

- alphakappa 12y agoYes, where did this guy spring from? This is some great stuff!
- djloche 12y agoNot to diminish Anand's credibility at all - but why does he have to be anything other than some random web developer? Does everyone have to have some magical backstory to qualify to ship something great? The primary difference between Anand and 'some random web developer' is that he actually shipped. You can join this club too.
- k-mcgrady 12y ago>> Does everyone have to have some magical backstory to qualify to ship something great? I was wondering the same as the parent and not because I thought there was a 'magical backstory' but because when someone ships something this good they have usually shipped something else you know of.
- lukeholder 12y agoI disagree, a lot of people crate massively good work but never self promote. Not that he is self promoting, but the point stands producing high quality work does not mean fame.
- ff7c11 12y agoOk, but the lifestyle of just hoping on a plane somewhere to get into the mind of an explorer requires you to be getting funding from somewhere (though perhaps not dev work)
- josephpmay 12y agoAnand was the lead designer at Quizlet (arguably the most successful ed-tech startup)
