"Human beings evolved in small groups and hunter-gatherer societies, in which virtually all competition was facetoface. That is the environment most of us are biologically and emotionally geared to succeed in, and it explains why our adrenalin surges when a rival wins the boss’s favor or flirts with our special someone. But in the new arena, with its faceless and anonymous competitors, those who are driven to action mostly by adrenalin will not fare well. If that’s what they need to get things done, they will become too passive and others will overtake them.
The greatest gains in this new world are likely to go to people who are methodical planners or who love the game for its own sake. Some people plot their competitive strategies far in advance. These planners—be they crazy or just highly productive—don’t need anyone breathing down their necks, and indeed they often work best alone or in small groups." [

PS. Taip seniai čia nieko nerašiau, kad jau galvojau passwordo neprisiminsiu...
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-- Robert Frost
"The general attitude seems to be that people should wear square shoes, because squares are easier to design and manufacture than foot shaped shoes. If the shoe industry has gone the way of the computer industry it would now be running a $200-a-day course on how to walk, run and jump in square shoes." - Alan Kay
От сумы да от тюрьмы не зарекайся.
Во время остановиться - это и есть то основное, что дается с опытом.
Hell, there are many programmers or marketers with good ideas and given time and some funds they can develop them into impressive prototypes. It’s certainly hard work but it’s the easier part - it’s getting new ideas into products and out to customers that’s crazy hard.
Train hard and fight easy or train easy and fight hard — and die.
The most intractable problem is not avoiding building buggy software. The problem is in building the software that people actually want.
