I've never really thought of it in those terms.

I mean, it's not like I'm a programmer who accidentally started running a thing.

I'm actually a camp programmer.

I'm not very good.

I'm an entrepreneur more than anything else.

So I was always thinking of it from that organizational, how do we get people involved?

How do we lead people?

How do we excite, motivate people?
