"The ideas will follow me. When they’re off-guard, and ready to be born, I’ll turn around and grab them." - Ray Bradbury

I can picture a life of trade offs, I can imagine the compromise and justifications for never committing to the work I love due to the responsibilities of life and want for comfort.

I do not want that life.

To signal a desire for learning, do cool things that require you to learn and do more than the job requires. Employers are, in general, sort of like archeologists: They study artifacts to understand the people who made them. So make artifacts that demonstrate you like to learn things.

I remember looking at my first iPod and being like: “This is a vessel that holds what I’m into.”

And also the early iPod didn’t have a lot of space, so you really had to curate what was on there in a way that people don’t do on their phones.
