I know one business, and that's how to make software.

If you want to do interesting software, you have to have a bunch of people do it, because the amount of software that one person can do isn't that interesting.

We can make life in the computer. Granted, it's limited, but we have learned what it takes in order to actually construct it.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.

You can't start a product simply by building it. You have to know why you're building it, and you might go down the wrong rabbit hole, waste time, and confuse things. Spending long afternoons with a sketchbook or talking through your ideas with other people can save a year in software development later on.

It gives you great pleasure to know that millions of developers, day to day, make their living using the software that you created.

If you look at, you know, the limitations of creating new products, you're only limited by the technology that you have to work with.

Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.
