Listen to the Masters - Ouçam os Mestres

“Watching nonprogrammers trying to run software companies is like watching someone who doesn’t know how to surf trying to surf. Even if he has great advisers standing on the shore telling him what to do, he still falls off the board again and again.”
-Joel Spolsky (link)

Em português:

“Ver não-programadores tentar comandar empresas de software é como ver alguém que não sabe surfar tentando. Mesmo que ele tenha grandes conselheiros de pé na praia dizendo a ele o que fazer, ele ainda assim vai cair da prancha de novo e de novo.”

Quoting my own quote

Slash\'s Biography

I was reading Slash’s biography when I run into this quote:

… in my mind it was simple: If we focused on nothing but surmounting the nearest obstacle, we’d make our way from point A to point C, in no time, no matter how great the distance.

It is very comforting to see someone who you admire say something you keep saying all the time.
