| Feb 25, 2011 at 16:58 | comment | added | user1249 | @adam, I am glad to know that there are people on stackexchange who are willing to make large, personal sacrifices to become the very best :) | |
| Feb 25, 2011 at 15:07 | comment | added | Adam Crossland | @Thorbjorn: I was deeply committed to becoming the best engineer that I possibly could, so I took the step of setting aside a whole year of my life for drinking to prepare myself. It also happened to be a convenient way to ride out a pretty bad job market. | |
