“We are all afraid. That's the thing that unites all truly successful people: fear, fear of failing, fear of criticism, fear of letting down the team in some way. That why they try so hard, that's why they pay attention to detail and try to get every possible duck in a row. It's fear” PeopleWayTryingHardPayAttentionLearningSuccessfulFailingTeamTeachingCriticismDetailsPay AttentionDucksSuccessful PeopleAttention To DetailFear Of Failing Author:Peggy Noonan
“We have also obtained a glimpse of another crucial idea about languages and program design. This is the approach of statified design, the notion that a complex system should be structured as a sequence of levels that are described using a sequence of languages. Each level is constructed by combining parts that are regarded as primitive at that level, and the parts constructed at each level are used as primitives at the next level. The language used at each level of a stratified design has primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction appropriate to that level of detail.” ShouldMeanIdeasUsedNextLanguageLevelsLearningDesignApproachProgramComplexesNotionDetailsCombinationProgrammingAppropriateCrucialPrimitiveGlimpseAbstractionSequenceNext LevelCombiningComplex Systems Author:Hal Abelson
“If you have a large number of unrelated ideas, you have to get quite a distance away from them to get a view of all of them, and this is the role of abstraction. If you look at each too closely you see too many details. If you get far away things may appear simpler because you can only see the large, broad outlines; you do not get lost in petty details.” IfsLooksMayIdeasLostViewsNumbersRolesLearningDistanceDetailsProgrammingBroadsFar AwayAbstractionPettyOutlinesLarge Numbers Author:John G.
