One can only display complex information in the mind. Like seeing, movement or flow or alteration of view is more important than the static picture, no matter how lovely.

Optimization hinders evolution. Everything should be built top-down, except the first time. Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.

Learning French is trivial: the word for horse is cheval, and everything else follows in the same way.

In computing, turning the obvious into the useful is a living definition of the word "frustration".

Because of its vitality, the computing field is always in desperate need of new cliches: Banality soothes our nerves.
