The program should know if someone is at the keyboard or joystick or if it is just sitting there idle. It should know if someone is proficient in its use or a novice.

I write my programs primarily for myself.

You must know in your heart before anyone else does what is going to be good and then follow through.

To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better.

On the robot kit, I can choose very boring parts or I can choose exciting and interesting parts. That is a reflection of my personality and the kinds of things I am interested in.

All of the good stuff is going to be done in the future. The stuff we are doing now is crummy compared with what will finally mature.

I can do whatever I want. They will tell me if what I am doing is stupid or a total waste of time. I may tell them that they are wrong, and we will come to an agreement.
