First Principles

 
  • Everything comes back to quality. There’s just no substitute for doing really good work that actually matters.

  • The user is king. Value is usually determined by how people respond. Success comes from making something useful.

  • There is only one (1) shortcut to mastery and unfortunately it is: fearlessly asking dumb questions.

  • Perfectionism unmasked is just fear of taking action. Leap and learn!

  • Uncertainty is your friend. Swim in oceans of unknowns and make good decisions anyway.

  • To the outside observer, your work and your play should be indistinguishable.

  • Your past self and your future self are politely demanding that you immediately stop thinking about them and focus on the present.

  • The secret sauce has always been: curiosity, imagination, kindness, and persistence.

  • You really can just do things.
