I think one has to take his writing of late with a pinch of salt because he writes things that only a rich, white and old guy could write. But the earlier stuff is still great. Hackers & Painters is still a wonderful book.

I don't think they're talking about a physical 'product'. They're talking about building character, making themself a better person, learning a skill etc

I have been thinking about the complexity bias that affects our perception of quality. I think as programmers it is our natural assumption that if something is complex, lots of thought must have gone into it beyond our understanding. This i

Unrelated, but I think the latest Android update is ghastly and I have no way of changing back to how it looked before. I'm all for progressive design but some of the new UI changes (for example the clock app which I use every day) mak
