Quotable Quotes:

“Almost every problem is something that anyone can solve and can understand if they spend enough time trying to really dive into the issue.” - ND“I heard recently, the key to productivity is the yin and yang of motivation, that energy, and discipline to stick with it when you don't have that.” - DG(Overcome intimidation) “Really looking at the technology that you're trying to learn...attacking at a hello world level and then start adding on.” - ND“I don't think I've ever been in any industry where there is such a vibrant and helpful community out there where people are doing stuff like meetups, where you can literally go and learn”“Read books, blog posts, and videos on how to communicate better and you'll learn a lot. I still do that, I'm still learning a lot and I have a long way to go.” - ND“You didn't need to get permission to do this, right? There's nothing stopping anyone from doing what you did...you came up with a project that you wanted to do and you started building it.” - DG“Doing everything you can to find out if it's going to be a good fit or not because the worst thing in the world is moving your entire career into a team and then having a negative consequence.” - ND“I think the number one quality is an eagerness to learn and communication. Those two things together seem to be really important.” - ND“I think the best indicator of someone being successful on a team is their willingness and their eagerness to learn new things, how quickly and how good they are at learning.” - ND
