Re/code Deputy Reviews Editor Katie Boehret is grabbing Code Conference guests when they step offstage to explore what makes them tick, what they do to relax and many, many other things you never knew about the titans of technology.
What subject did Netflix CEO Reed Hastings teach in high school? What 90210 character is Ryan Seacrest? What insects are terrorizing Twitter’s Dick Costolo? And where does actress Gwyneth Paltrow draw the line with her children’s use of technology and multimedia?

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
