In February 2010, I hit the GDC when I came to SF with the hopes of finding a job. I thought, "surely, with my web skills... I'll be in-demand" but oh how sobering of an experience it was.

A few months later in July 2010, Zynga was formed.

Fast forward three years and I just caught the other day that Zynga's been reportedly valued at $5B. A $5B business in three years?!? Amazing.
