>I'm a bit confused at how you'd come up with that summary of my career.
I worded that poorly, you're right. I meant early-stage startups at the scale of Fog Creek when you started. I've updated the post.
>No, this coworker right here was starting to say "shit fuck shit dammit" on camera as he discovered that a stale precompiled header was getting picked up on the build box and then realized Lerone was rolling, so you're hearing me halt myself before saying a pile of profanity on camera.
Ah, thanks for the context!
I watched that scene over and over trying to figure out what happened. It sounds like a "shush" but it's also weirdly stretched out. Liz seems to have heard it as a shush, as she shushes herself after. It shows Michael look over at you, but it's not clear if he was reacting to the noise.
There's an imdb trivia item[0] about how you and Liz disagree about whether it was a shush, but it's unsourced, so it was hard to put much stock in it. This is a much more satisfying answer.

>I'm also happy to answer any questions anyone has about the movie or about that time at Fog Creek.
How do you feel about the movie looking back? I notice on your website that you recommend people watch it "if [they]’re feeling masochistic." Is it just the awkwardness of being the focus of a film at that age or were there things you disliked about how it came out?
What did you like/dislike about working at Fog Creek? How'd it change during your tenure?
