Achieving a technical black belt...

If you want to be master technologist, you have to accept that there will be many unpleasant bumps on the road. To get a black belt in Karate, you're going to have some broken legs. To win an Olympic Gold, you're going to have to sacrifice.

To understand the potential of technology, you've got to be willing to have hard disk crashes, lose data, have network outages, and all of that good stuff.

I'm committed to the path of the master. I can accept that not everyone is.
