David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH)

I mean, he's a phenomenal race car driver, but he also...

Literally does nothing else.

When he's not at the racetrack, he's driving sim racing.

Like he's literally in video games doing more racing when he's not doing all the racing he's already doing.

They're able to develop very fine-tuned sensibilities for when the car is sliding.

They can feel just these tiny moments or movements in the chassis that transports up usually through their ass.

That's why you call it like a butt meter that goes up and you feel like the car is loose or you feel like you're just about to lock up.

you can really hone that tuning.

Then the other thing is you have to have really good reaction time.

And when you look at great Formula One drivers, they can generally have a reaction time of just under 200 milliseconds, which is awesome.

And even 10 milliseconds difference makes a huge difference.

You'll see it when the Formula One grid, for example, they do a standing start and you see the five red lights come on.

And when the last light goes out, they're supposed to release the clutch and get going.

And they can time this.

So you can see exactly who has the reaction time.

And even being off by 20 milliseconds can make the difference of whether you're in front or behind at the first corner.

There's some of that, and some of it is also just nerve.

Who wants it more?

That's exactly when that sense of danger comes in.

There's a great quote from Fernando Alonso when he was driving at Suzuka against Schumacher, I think.
