Love his answer to #7 on what advice he'd give to a new developer:
"7. What advice would you give to a beginner server-side developer and what to an open-source author / contributor?
Meh, advice-shmadvice. Who am I to give advice? What’s experience good for in our field? I used to know how to write a keyboard driver and floppy disc formatters with non-standard densities. I’d be all but obsolete today if I hadn’t learned continuously.
Oh, so maybe this would be one piece of advice: learn how to learn, and stick with principles; mastering individual technologies will follow.
Technology is a great servant but a terrible master. The best people in our métier are those who know how to quickly become experts in some particular field."
Reminds me of Paul B's video from startup school:
