   First paid engineering work, at fifteen. I rebuilt their chat server on hybrid-ircd, then built a trivia game on top of it — and when the regulars memorised all the questions, I turned the players into the supply side: user-submitted questions, reviewed before entering play, earning the submitter a royalty in the site's points every time their question came up.

   • Hundreds of concurrent players daily at peak, in 2000
   • The site's most popular module
