What does it mean to play something versus not play something?
And so I went to Cambridge, as Fareed said, I did my undergrad there.
I think I remember going around the careers fair.
And Cambridge is an amazing university, but one thing it doesn't really have much of in terms of technology is the consumer internet.
And so our specialities at Cambridge are things like hardware design, chip design, biotechnology, gene editing.
some software, but not that much software.
One of the interesting software companies Cambridge has actually produced is a company called Jagex, which is the company behind RuneScape.
And so of all of the companies at that careers fair, I was like, this is the one, this one's really cool.
Also, I'd played World of Warcraft at the time.
I hadn't played RuneScape.
But I went in for an interview and I was like, wow, there were only 35 people or so at the time.
They were having so much fun that I just put all my eggs in that basket and said, hey, hire me.
I'm a great computer scientist.
I'll create amazing content for you on this gaming platform.
And actually, to this date, it was one of the most fun jobs I ever had.
Interesting.
Did you, sorry to detour from some of the questions that we talked about earlier, but did, are you, were you the type that always knew you were going to start a company or did you, or, and that was just a chance to sort of learn how to work at a small, in a startup or did that come to you over time?
I knew pretty darn early.
But again, timelines are compressed.
Kids these days know very little, it turns out.
