One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code.

The average gardener probably knows little about what is going on in his or her garden.

In fact, we started off with two or three different shells and the shell had life of its own.

I wanted to separate data from programs, because data and instructions are very different.

One is that the perfect garden can be created overnight, which it can't.

I am a very bottom-up thinker.

I also have an idea for a book on biodiversity, and why and how we should be conserving it.
