DirectX Daddy Alex St. John: The Most Amazing Interview Ever!
Shacknews has, what can only be described as, the most inspirational interview on the internet as it applies to life at Microsoft or at least how it used to be. Joining the company 8 months ago, I've had my fair share of crap happen to me, none of which I'm going to talk about give me 10 years and some stock options, but reading this article really put things into perspective as to exactly how an individual really can make all the difference at a company. For those of you who don't know Alex St. John, current CEO of Wildtangent, he was the face of the Microsoft to the gaming industry. He practically created the DirectX ecosystem during the Windows 95-era. Amongst the topics in the article, the insights into the publishing industry, 3rd-party developer relationships, and corporate "politickery" stand out. If you haven't read this article, you're really missing out.
Alex, you're my hero! Sorry Marlboro Man.
Gentlemen and Lady I know there's at least one out there, your Moment of Zen!
