Then if you go to an internet company, nobody knows what everybody does. But you need different types of personalities in order to make a good company. People should not deny who they are, where they've been, what their experiences are.

A lot of companies fail. Yet you have companies that are nailing bunk beds to the cubicles and the developers are sleeping there. And nobody sees anything wrong with that. That's what's really sick.
