I no longer really ever like to be pitched. Instead, I prefer to engage in a relationship as part of learning the other person.

Computer science needs to be part of the core curriculum - like algebra, biology, physics, or chemistry. We need all schools to teach it, not just 10%.

When everyone starts sounding the same, that's when you know the words and phrases have become clichés. Instead of speaking in clichés, I encourage people just to be themselves, let their passion burn brightly, and go work on things they love spending their time on.

Failure is sometimes the best option if you view the process of entrepreneurship as a lifelong journey.

The quest for stability or homeostasis is silly. We should accept that we live on an incredibly dynamic planet in a rapidly changing environment, and do our best to have the most amazing experiences we can.

Make sure the thing you are working on is something you love.
