Thank you so much for posting - very insightful interview. I know HN doesn't really approve of "me too"-comments -- but this really deserves being submitted as a story on its own.

(I've become more than a little discouraged from my few submissions that have sunk through the front page like a stone -- so I'll just leave this comment here :-)

edit: Be sure to also read the linked "interview that focuses on one of my recent failures.":
