You don't have to start from scratch to do something interesting. You don't have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world. You have to have a good idea. You have to convince other people of those good ideas. And you have to push as quickly as possible.

I think that great programming is not all that dissimilar to great art. Once you start thinking in concepts of programming it makes you a better person...as does learning a foreign language, as does learning math, as does learning how to read.

We get to design what we want to see in the world rather than doing what other people think should be done.

Amazing what people make up based on what they choose to see.

I'm less interested in how people are following each other and more interested in how they are following topics and tweets themselves. People are following more key words and concepts and more ideas and acting on those rather than individuals or organizations.

My mom cares that I tweeted a picture of my breakfast. She's knows I'm eating and I'm safe.

Build what you want to see in the world.
