One of the best interviews I have ever read. I'm going to share this with my work colleagues 
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Creating great hardware and software means avoiding these product-killing pitfalls. "I won't deny my own desire to see each sin turned against the sinner."

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

There's a post on Hacker News today called "I quit the tech industry" that you should read. The TL;DR is that working in software for money just wasn't working for this person. "Breathe. It's just software, we're not saving babies here."

Estimating the number of people present by looking at Wi-Fi signals could help make buildings more energy efficient. Can it count the number of people with tin-foil hats?

Quote: adjusting the temperature according to the number of people inside.
Why? When I am working I like the office cool. To let it warm up on a hot day just because there are less people around makes no sense. Clearly this technology is going to be [mis]used by accountants who have no idea of developer productivity needs!

Windows 10 may be officially launching on July 29th, but Windows Phone fans know they have to wait longer before the Mobile version of the OS will get released. It takes a little longer to get it in the small boxes

“What’s in a name?” Juliet Capulet knew what was up. However, different titles can mean different roles and responsibilities, which means getting down to the bottom of what developers and programmers actually do. About $30K a year?

In most places I've worked, "software engineers" and even "developers" considered being referred to as a "coder" or a "programmer" an insult, whether intentional or not.

A man in St. Petersburg has died after eating parts of a smashed-up tablet computer to avoid being detained by police, the law enforcement agency said Monday. "We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them."
But stop there.

I imagine the man taunted the police with "You'll get your hands on my data over my dead body" at some point during the altercation.
