I think I always try to flip my flaws into selling points.

And for that, so getting that job, I...

I was like, oh, you're a team of engineers.

Everybody working here is an engineer.

Your customers are not all engineers.

You need somebody who can be your filter and tell you when something's going to be too hard for your customers to understand.

So it was more me being like, oh, no, it might seem that me not having skills is a bad thing, but actually it's a great thing.

The representation of the average human.

But I mean, I remember that.

So I studied physics for a year in college and then I dropped out.

And I had this rule for myself that whenever I did not understand something, I would ask a question.

So I was always raising my hand in class.

Because whenever there was something that I was too scared to ask, you always raised your hand.

I think it is a bit of a skill.
