Thoughts:
- Coffee is necessary.
- Sushi has no equal.
- I’m a sucker for PHP.
- 3rd Party software is poorly written and poorly organized.
- Open Source is Inherently good.
- It is true that open source software is often 3rd party, but the caveat is that if it’s open source you can do something about it.
- Microsoft is Inherently Evil.
- Everything i know i learned from tinkering.
