I got to see Matt and Apurva over the weekend, and one of the things that came up was how little their jobs resembled what we do. Apurva took a job that doesn't really understand HCI, and Matt spends the bulk of his time doing wireframes. I know you took an extra course, essentially, when you started your job, but where does the School of Informatics training fit in? Would you say that you are doing all the things you were trained to do at the School of Informatics?
