Show Quotes:

"when I was, you know, 10 or 11, I was always on the computer. Whenever there was a problem, my parents were like, oh, Tait can fix it. But actual software development, and in addition to that, Linux and that ecosystem, that specifically came out of Minecraft."

"It was totally a cross section of passions, which is what I keep looking for today is something that's not just great engineering, but something that's great engineering, and something that helps me out."
