This captures the idea why you can't build very large systems over a week even a trivial one where you have domain expertise. It takes time to understand the failure patterns of your design. Scale and usage patterns are out of your control. danluu.com/sounds-easy/

People [REALLY] first. Training mania. Community minded to a fault. Best, not cheapest; only products-services that inspire. Paragon of moral behavior. Kindness and caring are watchwords. Excellence not “a hill to climb;” excellence is the next five minutes … or nothing at all.

I love how "take a deep breath" in Danish literally translates to "pull the weather all the way down to your butt" (træk vejret helt ned i numsen).

Everyone is worse at multitasking than they think, but the people who are most likely to multitask are also the worst at it! The two are negatively correlated! (And that means, as this study shows, the worst multitaskers are most likely to text & drive) journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

Running late this morning so used the car to rush daughter to school bus stop. On arrival she orders me to turn off the radio so the other kids won't hear my shameful, weakass music. It was the Clash. The Clash, I tell you.
