Quotes

On hiring

Companies want innovative thinkers but only hire people who have followed the rules from elementary school on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On software developers

Software development takes immense intellectual effort. Even the best programmers can rarely sustain that level of effort for more than a few hours a day. Beyond that, they need to rest their brains a bit, which is why they always seem to be surfing the Internet or playing games when you barge in on them.

-Joel Spolsky

Joel Spolsky quote

on Tolstoy

Committing sin is the work of man, but justifying one’s sin is the work of the devil.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

– Tolstoy

On ruining a tv show/film

What, if anything, can ruin a tv show/film for you?

  • Nobody ever locks their car doors.
  • people who live in unaffordably gorgeous houses incompatible with likely income of character’s job – see Bridget Jones
  • Driving while having a conversation with someone in the passenger seat, and looking at them all the damn time. Eyes on the road!
  • Car chases through central London. No chance mate.
