This was a fun conversation about many things, including:
- Explaining what a Program Manager in Developer Division does to three different audiences: his kids, a new college grad, and an industry veteran
- Why he thinks he gets more mileage in his day job out of his English major than his Computer Science major
- How someone can spend three years working on memcpy
- What working with large partners like Windows, Azure, and Office really entails and how to be effective in that role
- Why he really wanted to come to the Pacific Northwest 18 years ago and why he decided to stay
- What it was like listening to customer feedback in the early days of the Visual Basic .NET team
- What we should have built instead of Lightswitch
- How his super power of not taking being yelled at personally contributed to his career success
- The balance and joy that he gets from living near Puget Sound and his fishing kayak
- Why the Azure CLI needed to be rewritten
