Why is it common to think that books must be read in their entirety? Read a page, read the end, change to a new one whenever. Just read.

As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.

the more i do this job the more i realize how software development and design is the epitome of creativity and art in our day and age.

few non-builders understand the sophistication required to conceptualise a product borne with software that ultimately becomes a living breathing entity in its own right.

the attention to detail required to successfully engineer, design and explain a software product well cannot be understood by those looking in from the outside who've never had to do it themselves.

the personal fulfilment as you refine the product, better understand the value, see through the fog of distribution and market segmentation is reward in itself

onwards Kirk and all of us in the ring.

Smile at the customer. Bake cookies for your colleagues. Sing your subordinates’ praises. Share credit. Listen. Empathize. Don’t drive the last dollar out of a deal. Leave the last doughnut for someone else.

Sneer at the customer. Keep your colleagues on edge. Claim credit. Speak first. Put your feet on the table. Withhold approval. Instill fear. Interrupt. Ask for more. And by all means, take that last doughnut. You deserve it.

Follow one of those paths, the success literature tells us, and you’ll go far. Follow the other, and you’ll die powerless and broke.
