Capacity for effort
Man has a large capacity for effort. In fact it is so much greater than wwe think it is that few ever reach this capacity. We should value the faculty of knowing what we ought to do and having the will to do it. Knowing is easy; it is the doing that is difficult. The critical issue is not what we know but what we do with what we know. The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. I believe that it is the duty of each of us to act as if the fate of the world depended on him... we must live for the future, not for our own comfort or success. -- Hyman G. Rickover, quote seen from a wall of OpenAI headquarter

Quote: Innovation Is Bullshit
The innovation the industry talks about so much is bullshit. Anybody can innovate, it's meaningless. 99% of it is to get the work done.
All the really stressful times for me have been about process. They haven't been about code. When code doesn't work, that can actually be exciting ... Process problems are a pain in the ass. --- Linus Torvalds
