— Jason Fried“Some people like surrounding themselves with beautiful objects, furniture, and art. A walk outside is a better value.”
— Jamis Buck“All too often we can get stuck in a rut, thinking the resistance we feel to life or career is normal, forgetting the thrill we felt when the blade was new. All it takes is a moment to step back and remember the strop; the time spent will more than pay for itself in the long run.”
— DHH“I’d give up a cozy working atmosphere and using tools I enjoyed if it meant having to do work that just didn’t matter. You should too.”
— John Gall“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.”
I love the simplicity of the interiors of old cars.
— Matt / 37signals“Figure out what you have to say that’s interesting and then unleash it. Use whatever tools you’ve got already or what you can afford cheaply. Then go.
It’s not the gear that matters. It’s you and your ideas that matter. Tone is in your fingers.

— DHH“If there’s something you don’t currently know how to do, please decide not to be a dummy or an idiot. You’re as smart as you always were, you’re just looking to learn something new.”
