PiggyBank
When you have changes, put the changes into your PiggyBank. That's how parents teach their children to save money. In future, when no more cash, money will be saved electronically, PiggyBank will die also.

8 Songs Walk
I just took a 8 songs walk this morning accompanied by my iPod and dabbled to make a little calculation.
In my 15GB, i can put up to about 3000 5M's Songs. So, if I listen to 8 songs each day, it will took a year to listen to all song. And if I have 100 starred 5 (favorite) songs, I will listen to each 10 times a year, so it's about 4 months (I have no research data for this). And how many new release song I will consider? oh .. any statistician here? :( please help!
The point is capacity of storage is no longer an issue. So, what's next? is it more features? or is it compatibility? will Microsoft win again with their genius marketing fleet against cool but stupid Steve Jobs?

Stop Trial and Error
For hello world (simple) program, you may use Trial and Error method. But for big project, never try that. It's suicide.

Beauty
How could you develope software without design? Without design, you can't understand the beauty of the software. Beauty of design is the best way to beat the complexity, so don't miss it.

DVD Virtual Machine
Just read about DVD spesification and found that the design is cool enough. DVD author just like a programmer, create machine code. DVD Player must create a Virtual Machine to process the command and end user can navigate the dvd when watching it. When navigating the DVD, machine code actually being executed by virtual machine.

Project without good planning, design, assessment is a taking live project. Sometimes software project seems easy and after some long, you realize it's not as easy as you think. Most venture company lack this.

iMac G5
I prefer iMac G4. I don't care if the new one much more powerful but it lacks the design beauty. Most of consumer think like that. They like beauty more.

Teenager Doing Business
Most of venture company is just like teenager. They think that they are cool, smart, unlimited power, genius but at last they will give up. If they don't manage it well, they will fail.

Naming
Naming is always a hard thing. But we can't avoid naming though. No civilization without naming. Naming is part of invention.
