Recently, the New Stack had a piece excerpting some of my conversation with Gergely Orosz. In introducing me in the piece, Joab Jackson writes "Cantrill has had a knack at being at the right place at the right time." While this is objectively true at some level, it also gave me a double take: it rarely felt true at the time. When I entered university in 1992, it didn’t feel like the right time: the economy for new grads was very grim — and I knew plenty of folks who had done at well at top schools who were struggling to find work (and accepting part time jobs that didn’t need a college degree at all while they searched for something better). I never doubted going to school, but I also have never taken a job for granted.
