> This is such a good interview. Lots of engineer philosophy dropped here.
The interview is great, and it really highlights the difference in the way that founders and engineers think compared to those in the finance and commercial fields. If this was an investor interview, they'd be asking about deadlines and revenue projections. If it was a Joe Rogan interview, the questions would be vague questions about social, political, or philosophical repercussions. Those are all important questions, but they don't actually address what any business or organization is really trying to do. You can learn a lot more about a person or organization by speaking their language and letting them talk the way they are comfortable than by stuffing them into your own rubric of what they should be expected to say.
