    Writing as someone with "hard skills" -- pretty amusing that a company co-founded and run by a guy with "soft skills" eschews such -- law degree, PhD in obscure humanities area in European language. Be interesting if to see if all these CS and Logic guys are as wonderful in the real world as they are at 150 employees and making cute NY Times graphics. Have heard under-whelming things about their law-enforcement pitches. But who knows, maybe they are they only tech company in the world with engineers who are all good salesman, a true rarity. I mean you just don't grow Eric Schmidt types on trees.
