The mark of a mature programmer is willingness to throw out code you spent time on when you realize it's pointless

You get so tired of having your work die. I just wanted to make something that people would actually use.

Things which any idiot could write usually have the quality of having been written by an idiot.

The trick is to fix the problem you have, rather than the problem you want.

I've accomplished more working on my own than I ever did as part of a team.

Technology is not a panacea. I refuse to work on technology to track users, analyze usage patterns, watermark information, censor, detect drug use, or eavesdrop. I am not naive enough to think any of those technologies could enable a 'compromise'.
