It's easier to be different than better.

The Rule of 80%.

The benefits of being a generalist over a specialist.

Principles of for being a generalist

You get what you practice and you get what you don't practice.

You have to be ok with your skill set decreasing.

It's always easier to regain something than to gain it the first time.

How to learn anything quickly.

Improvisation is a sign of mastery.

Mastery is moving deeper into the basics, not necessarily farther away from them.

Information does not necessarily mean improvement.

The best thing that has humbled me is how many times I've gotten something wrong.

I only keep a book in my house if I will read it three times.
