Carl took us on a wild ride, starting with discovering he could build on computers very early. We brushed over his Engineering studies and how he almost went to study history instead. Carl spoke about his first job as an IT support person/sys admin and how he found his love for programming and creating back after a multi-year hiatus. Carl told us about how he created his career around learning and being an expert generalist (vs. an expert specialist) whose motto is "I'll figure it out." Carl spoke about the Gaming industry, coding interviews, behavioral questions, and finally, going against the grain!
