We Do Not See The Pc As

Focus Is A Matter Of Deciding What Things You're Not Going To Do.

Honestly, I Spend Very Little Time Thinking About Past Events, And I Certainly Don't Have Them Ranked In Any Way. I Look Back And Think That I Have Done A Lot Of Good Work Over The Years, But I Am Much More Excited About What The Future Holds.

I'd Rather Have A Search Engine Or A Compiler On A Deserted Island Than A Game.

The Idea That I Can Be Presented With A Problem, Set Out To Logically Solve It With The Tools At Hand, And Wind Up With A Program That Could Not Be Legally Used Because Someone Else Followed The Same Logical Steps Some Years Ago And Filed For A Patent On It Is Horrifying.

In The Information Age, The Barriers [to Entry Into Programming] Just Aren't There. The Barriers Are Self Imposed. If You Want To Set Off And Go Develop Some Grand New Thing, You Don't Need Millions Of Dollars Of Capitalization. You Need Enough Pizza And Diet Coke To Stick In Your Refrigerator, A Cheap Pc To Work On, And The Dedication To Go Through With It. We Slept On Floors. We Waded Across Rivers.
