In other words, systems of knowledge can be thought of as having a tree structure. To learn something, you must simply move from branch to branch, node to node. The troube is that sometimes it's not easy to see the structure. This is where a good teacher comes in. A good theater organizes the topic so that it reflects its hierachical structure."
Floyd Marinescu

"If your heart's not in it, then it's time for a change. I've been in situations where I was making more money than I knew what to do with, but I just wasn't happy there. I couldn't motivate myself. Once I switched my job, I was quite the happiest and it was worth making less money to have a better life."
Andy Hunt
"The best place to look for where a bug might be is quite near the last one you found"
A lot of people say, "What's the best thing I can do to enhance my code?" and I say, "Take a big magnet to the hard drive".
Dave Thomas

''So the key thing for a new technology is to find a ninche where it can grow and where people will pay for it. The it can be a healty, stable business.
"If you need complicated tools, then perhaps the technologies you're using are the wrong ones.''
