       | I regret never actually meeting him though we have some mutual
       | friends in common. Tried to get him to speak at a hackathon I was
       | running in Detroit during his early days at Twilio but he was
       | simply too busy which I can understand. Got Dug Song, cofounder
       | of Duo Security, and he did a terrific job of inspiring all of
       | us.
