Walter Isaacson
“Vision without execution is hallucination. .. Skill without imagination is barren. Leonardo [da Vinci] knew how to marry observation and imagination, which made him history’s consummate innovator.”
Walter Isaacson, Leonardo da Vinci

“Try to pick approaches that are radically different from each other; you’ll learn more that way. Even if you are certain that there is only one reasonable approach, consider a second design anyway, no matter how bad you think it will be.”
John Ousterhout, A Philosophy of Software Design

Jeremy Wagner
“Users do not care what technologies you use. They only care that a website is fast and accessible. That’s the core of what responsible usage of JavaScript is all about: prioritizing user experience over developer experience.”
Jeremy Wagner

Walter Isaacson
“If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

Walter Isaacson
“I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don’t. It’s the great mystery.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs
