Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.

Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money. As such, I'm not very likely to make the same kind of money that Bill made.

Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

Don't hurry your code. Make sure it works well and is well designed. Don't worry about timing.

Working in lock-step simply isn't a good idea. Never has been, never will be.

Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.

I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
