I'm not impressed by the guy who convinced the monk to buy a Ferrari . That guy's raking in the dough, sure. But he's doing nothing to help customers. Do you really want to build a business based on customers that don't need or care about

Programming is a mental juggling act. If I get distracted or stop unexpectedly, all the things come tumbling down to the floor and go bouncing and rolling to all corners of the room. It takes a lot of effort (and is no fun at all) to gather
