There’s a tremendous friction that arises when you don’t allow yourself to do what you really want to do with your life. You make a lot of halfway decisions to negotiate your competing priorities: what you want, and what you want to want.
Dan Shipper • Every’s Master Plan
“One of the best pleasures in life is to read a book in total silence.”
"Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work." - Gustave Flaubert
Quoted this in my piece on the value of routine: Rewards of Routine
- Use your tools to make things, don't make things about your tools. Technology and the end result are in a dance, one can never lead the other too long.

Over the years those concerns have faded and have largely been displaced by an engineering orientation. The earlier concerns are now commonly dismissed, sometimes condescendingly, as GOFAI–good old-fashioned AI.
