If you’ve read Microserfs, you will understand what this post is about. I recently dug up some old e-mails lost on a CD and found my old Jeopardy categories when I was 18/19 (and obsessed with economics and how banking systems work).
Circa 1996 (university-era):
Programming Languages
IPOs and CEOs
Computer animations
The Fuck-ups of the Personal Computer industry
Stock and Currency Markets
Pop psychology
Failures of Economic and Government Policy
Now:
Game development.
3D computer graphics.
Children’s literature post-1980s.
American indie music.
Moder cartoons and artsy-fartsy animated shorts.
NHL hockey post-2006.
Mix tape of useless info: Motorcycles, Traveling, Animation pipelines.
