“Developers choose jobs according to what they want to learn, and they leave their jobs either when they are not learning anymore or when whatever is left to learn is not aligned with their career aspirations.”

“Happy people simply do better—at home, at work, in life. They make more money, they have better jobs, they graduate from college, and they live longer. It’s quite remarkable. Almost universally they’re just better at what they do.”
