your software shrinks, the more skilled you have become and the less your
software sucks.

make great products.

I learned a painful lesson, that for small programs dynamic typing is great,
for large programs you have to have a more disciplined approach and it helps if
the language actually gives you that discipline, rather than telling you 'Well
you can do whatever you want'. I found TypeScript is actually incredibly useful,
so we're adding a similar idea to Python, we're adding it in a slightly
different way because we have different context ... I thought dynamic languages
were easier to approach because you haven't got types that are this bother all
the time. Well it turns out that you can actually be more productive by having
types if you do it in a non-intrusive manner and if you work hard doing good
type inference and so forth.

Be Water, My Friend.
Empty your mind.
Be formless, shapeless, like water.
You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning

What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing
