David Karp is a Hero

If I think hard about what it was that inspired me to work with computers and teach myself everything I know - it was John Lasseter, Ed Catmull and Pixar. At the time, I didn't even know the story behind Pixar and Steve Jobs - but what inspired me then was the fact they did it, and they made something so great too.

The acquisition is inspiring to me. But not totally because of the exit and the financial win for everyone involved - but also for the fact that I feel like it's a 'your hard work paid off' stamp.

So thank you John Lasseter and Ed Catmull (and I didn't know it at the time, but Steve Jobs too).
