I think it was after my first year at Blockstream I asked if I could have regular 1x1s with then-CTO Gregory Maxwell. I was, perhaps, too inexperienced at that point to take full advantage of that, but his form of thinking has been a model for me on how to think about Bitcoin, though I don't always agree with him.

Needless to say, his receipt of the #finneyprize along with Pieter Wuille is fully deserved. It's hard to think of who could even follow that pair, to be honest!
