Post is here.
Some of my favorite lines:
Thinking outside of the box is hard because the box is invisible.
Small and fast - pick both
[...]
This comes back to Jeff Bezos' wisdom: there will never be a time when users want bloated and slow apps so being small and fast is a permanent advantage.
A big attraction of working on code you're not paid for is that there is no one who can tell you what to do or how to do it.
My code would not pass a code review at Google and not because it's bad but because it's often unorthodox. Outside of accepted dogma.
(As you can see, I'm a great team player.)
Cross-platform is overrated
[...]
I believe an excellent app for one platform can become more popular than a mediocre app for 3 platforms.
Overnight success takes a decade
