You can be serious without a suit

I like going to Burning Man, for example. That's an environment where people can try out different things. I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out some new things and figure out what is the effect on society, what's the effect on people, without having to deploy kind of into the normal world.

The moments that we have with friends and family, the chances that we have to make a big difference in the world or even to make a small difference to the ones we love, all those wonderful chances that life gives us, life also takes away. It can happen fast and a whole lot sooner than you think.

There are basically no companies that have good slow decisions. There are only companies that have good fast decisions.

If you can run the company a bit more collaboratively, you get a better result, because you have more bandwidth and checking and balancing going on.

It is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. ... Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.

Especially in technology, we need revolutionary change, not incremental change.
