Building a software application is like driving at night; you can only see 2ft ahead of you, but you'll get there eventually.

You are underestimating the compounding awesomeness of continually fixing small broken things.

In 2005 on the Australian Schoolboys tour of UK and Ireland we were billeted out with families in Limerick. The family I was billeted with: the Murrays. I don't think @ConorMurray_9 or I were thinking we'd go on to face each other in test rugby. Great to catch up after the game.

Research: The best entrepreneurs tend to be middle-aged.
- Among fastest-growing new tech companies, the average founder was 45 at the time of founding.
- A 50-year-old entrepreneur is nearly twice as likely to have a runaway success as a 30-year-old.

When we are closed to ideas what we hear is criticism. When we are open to ideas what we get is advice.

HBO's Silicon Valley might be the truest representation of the software development process on TV so far, mostly because they keep re-using previous storylines instead of writing new ones. Smart.

In school, they teach us how to read and write, but never how to listen. Here, via @HarvardBiz, 4 tips for listening better:
-- Give 100% of your attention, or do not listen
-- Don't interrupt
-- Don't impose your solutions
-- Ask more (good) questions.

Give people what they want and they will like you for now. Give people what the need and they will value you forever.
