Choice Driven Development
I chose very early on to become a 'people person'.
It was part of my personality already, but watching and learning how people interact was a conscious decision. Joe O’Brien
...I’m a creator. I’m not a consultant. I discovered there’s
actually a difference... I’m happiest making products and selling them directly. Amy Hoy
I don’t ever want to be paid to write code.
What I want to get paid for is helping others not get paid to write code. Corey Haines
Every choice has a consequence eskimo_jo
