Corey Mintz has embedded himself so deeply into our industry that it makes reading his writing such a joy. It's sepcifically because he writes as an outsider... unlike so many pundits and critics, he gets us. He gets what we do. He gets how difficult it is to do what we do... and to do it well. Below I'm linking to a couple of his articles you should definitely read, but start with this interview. I hope you enjoy his perspective as much as I do.
