I write my programs primarily for myself.

I know when something is kind of half-baked.

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.

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.

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.

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