"The first job I had, I knew absolutely nothing about- I was just a freshman in college, I was just starting out, I didn't know really, I didn't know much about software developing. And I actually got a job as a software developer in a company that made kitty litter. Well I was just a kid back then. And, so, as I said, I didn't know anything, and I was scared to ask questions. I didn't want to- everybody was, seem like they were really busy, and they didn't have any time for me, and that was really, very frustrating. It's very frustrating where you're new, you don't know anybody, and you can't even ask any questions. So that was like a horrifying experience for me. But then as time progressed, you know, every subsequent job that I got was better and better. And pretty soon I came to an interview, I knew everything about the place, even, I never worked there one day and I already know everything about it. That's how I feel now."
