There are people who know me professionally who on meeting me for the first time express surprise I have ever been to Japan, where I have lived continuously for my entire 15 year career. Someone will learn I work at Stripe from this tweet, I guarantee it.

I have had at least three meetings this year where half an hour in someone realized that they have been reading my blog, in some cases for years, without realizing that I also have a physical form that could strictly hypothetically be in a meeting with them.

Ha, that bingo card thing sounds a lot like some of the ideas swirling around in my head. Thanks for being so public with your stories. I’m learning a lot from your twitter threads, andnow that I’ve found your blog I’m guessing that will contribute too. Domo arigato, Mr. Patio.
