How did I get interested in all this? I wasn’t interested in programming I was interested in having programs. I desired an outcome.

I get bored with asking the same [interview] questions over and over. Furthermore, I think after about the 100th time you ask a question you have lost perspective on it. Once you can write the answer on the whiteboard by heart without even thinking, you get annoyed by anyone who takes more than a few seconds thinking about it. It may not be a conscious annoyance but it’s there if you think about it, and I think it gives you a bit of a negative bias at times. At least it does for me. It’s good to find new questions so you have to solve them yourself and you have that feeling of approaching the problem for the first time fresh in your memory.

If you have a good taste, for a first couple of years you feel that what you are doing is not that good. So many people quit. Don’t quit.
When you are trying to do something creative you always suck, and that’s okay.

Have you ever noticed that at restaurants, your waiter doesn’t bring your food? Other waiters always bring out your food, during which time your waiter is nowhere to be seen. This is so that if you become infuriated because you specifically ordered tartar sauce on the side, and after a 45-minute wait the chef seems to have emptied the entire bottle of tartar sauce on your fish sandwich in some sort of twisted artistico-culinary attempt to make it look like he threw up on it, then you don’t blame your waiter. Instead, you unwittingly direct your anger at the person who brought your food, who makes sympathetic noises (“Gosh, I’m so sorry - I can’t believe they messed that up!”) and runs away, never to be seen again. After it’s eventually resolved (by still other people bringing replacements out), your waiter finally rematerializes and apologizes for the kitchen screwup.

In many situations, solving the right problem is a big step toward creating a beautiful program.

Thinking in patterns is exactly the wrong thing to do! It makes you think in terms of the solution instead of in terms of the problem!
Having taking a great interest in lisp recently, coming from C++ and java, I have experienced first hand that many, if not most, of the design patterns in the book of the same name are just bandaids for the gushing wounds of those languages.
Terminology is important, but relevant and precise terminology arises natually, from a need! “Callback”, for example, never had this cult or passionate discourse about its being, because that term arouse naturally. But there was never a natural need for labeling of encapculated global variables as “singletons” or other similarly trivial concepts as “visitor”, “observer”, or what-have-you patterns. These patterns are entirely artificial concepts, borne out of the only need they were ever close to — the need for academic masturbation!

Правило 100. Никогда не оправдывайтесь; вместо этого представьте план действий, которые необходимо предпринять.
