Capital Requirements for Quality

In order to produce quality, capitalism requires love and respect just as much as profit and financing.

Software Development Goals

It is a common misconception that a software developers' job is to write lots of new lines of code.

The reality is that it is a software developer's job to eliminate as many lines of code as possible.

Defining Quality

Quality is resistance to failure.

Which raises two more questions; what is failure, and how is it resisted.

Foggy Notion

So... Cloudware isn't vaporware?

Corporate Citizens

Of course corporations are people...

... paranoid delusional schizophrenic people with boundary issues.

Life, Death, and Ascension

We die with our mothers and fathers,

and in our own time we live with our children.

That is the way of divinity.

Employment Prospecting

Don't look for a job.
Look for a community.

Complexity Containment

To name, or not to name- that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The schemes and air flows of outrageous naming
Or to take abstraction against a sea of details,
And by opposing end them.

Source Code

Programmers don't write code.

Caffeine writes code.

Programmers are merely the vessel.

Appropriate Technology

Engineered user interfaces work really great when used by engineers.

Journey Shared

Throughout all your endeavors
keep good company.
