Nice summary.

On finding a problem you'd be happy working on for a few years, he said "fall in love with the problem". I like that.

One of the interviewers asked what source control he used, and admitted that he himself just makes directory tree backups periodically. Peldi spent some time explaining why you should use source control. He himself started with Perforce since that's what he knew, then switched to svn because he's a boring old fart. The cool kids use git or hg.
