Out of curiosity what did you say?


  "Animals? We're a freaking zoo.

  Andy: When Paul described the type of person whom he 
  believes is an animal at his "How to Start a Startup"  
  talk, Andy was the first person of whom I (Steve) thought.

  Steve: Steve regularly works extra hours at his current 
  programming job, even when over-time isn't an option (i.e.   
  working for free) to fix nagging bugs. At school, Steve 
  often works late nights with Computer Science friends   
  helping them get assignments working.

  Alexis: See current schedule. When it comes to design, 
  Alexis literally won't rest until every pixel is aligned--
  sleep deprivation is the status quo and when it comes to 
  working in general, coffee makes sure he's the last one to 
  go to sleep at night and the first one up in the morning."
