It always helps to be a good programmer. It is important to like computers and to be able to think of things people would want to do with their computers.

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.

I really think it is amazing that people actually buy software.

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

A quiet personality sure isn't what you need to attract attention.

I have a really powerful urge to see things work.

I think a craft becomes an art form when the space of possible solutions becomes so huge that engineering can't carry you through.
