Very few Channel 9 videos begin with the firing of a trebuchet. This is one of those videos. Scott and I barged in on Vance Morrison, an architect on the .NET Runtime team, and spent some quality time with him assaulting a wall (we won - the wall didn’t even put up a fight) and then talking about Vance's job, which turns out to be quite the challenge. Vance didn't have much time, so Scott and I were very thankful for the few minutes we got, but Scott was able to dig right down to the interesting stuff quickly. Scott's good at that :) There are more HanselMinutes on 9 videos coming. It seems people dig these things, so we're going to release a few more from the first session, and then put together another set, most likely at Mix. Thanks again to Scott Hanselman for doing this, and to Carl Franklin for letting us use the "HanselMinutes" name.
