My highest benefit/cost habit is viewing the diff immediately before each commit. It's simple, concrete, and not onerous. The benefits are amazing.

Dr. Seuss had quite a few D's and F's - but that didn't slow him down. His "5000 fingers" film was a flop. His attempts to produce works for an adult audience went nowhere. But he never, ever quit. And he had ex

A draft of an early Newton flyer said "It recognizes your handwriting". I insisted that the phrase be removed, and the copy writers promised to take it out. The printed flyers did not arrive at the CES show until minutes before w
