great interview! surprised you never tried to work for Apple!
random but curious how the lightning bolts are generated- is it completely random each time or a few preset sprites?

Random and animated on demand. The brain is pretty good at seeing patterns or a lack of them, and a lack of pattern seems to be more engaging based on what I've read. Humans get strangely addicted to random rewards and are bored by predictable ones.

Way too big of a company IMO. Big companies are great if you don't want to actually work much and enjoy meetings. Give me 70% of the pay and freedom to build on a tiny team of talented people and I'm relatively much happier. Nothing beats working on your own though as hard and painful as it can be.
