Did you guys happen to do much mingling in the waiting area just before or just after your interview?
We got to the interview super early and ended up chatting with Kate (we asked her how to get to In and Out), Skysheets Dan (saw his demo), and two other interviewing teams that were accepted. Then there were two less social teams who sat in the corner with their laptops, I guess nervously testing their demo one last time.
Maybe I'm over-fitting, but for me the nerve-calming benefits of being social in the waiting room was helpful.
