I am pragmatic. That which works, works, and theory can go screw itself. However, my pragmatism also extends to maintainability, which is why I also want it done well.

Portability is for people who cannot write new programs.

I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.

Every time I see some piece of medical research saying that caffeine is good for you, I high-five myself. Because I'm going to live forever.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.

I have an ego the size of a small planet.
