Turns out the header image was generated with AI tools which is a bit disappointing especially given some of the content of the interview, but I thought the questions were interesting and mostly enjoyed answering them.

I can't be certain, but I now have reason to believe the questions were completely AI generated too. I have become the Facebook boomer clicking like on those terrible slop memes :(
