I've actually found the image of Silicon Valley as a hotbed of money-grubbing tech people to be pretty false, but maybe that's because the people I hang out with are all really engineers.

Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.

Any program is only as good as it is useful.

The fact is, there aren't just two sides to any issue, there's almost always a range of responses, and "it depends" is almost always the right answer in any big question.

When somebody who is different shows himself to be different in a good way, that's how development happens.

I think one thing I do pretty well is not taking myself too seriously.

The fact that ACPI was designed by a group of monkeys high on LSD, and is some of the worst designs in the industry obviously makes running it at any point pretty damn ugly.
