Amaka Imani Nkosazana
“Everything that looks good may not be good for you. In life, we all take chances. You must carefully examine the pros and cons. People often times have certain hidden agendas. And, you might not realize until you're in too deep.”
Amaka Imani Nkosazana, Sweet Destiny

Michael Lopp
“You might very well have the requisite players, pros, and cons , but then again, you might have too many. If it’s 30 minutes in and you still can’t figure out what the issue is, it’s time to go: too many issues. Someone who cares more than you needs to distill this chaos down to a coherent statement so the pros and cons can argue about one thing.”
Michael Lopp, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager
