All else aside, this story is an inspiration to people like me that are in the US on restrictive H1B visas, like Krieger was.

All I need to do now is find out how the hell he did it. Well, that is to say, who he got to help him with it...


I really enjoyed Kevin's response to the question about work-life balance. It really goes to show that you don't need to sleep 20 hours a week and stay up till 3am coding every night to "make it."


That's really a great example against the Dropout myth. Shows that's it success is more random than many thinks.
