Hands down, you guys are two of the smartest dudes in business. Your clear use of language makes the typical corporate speak appear opaque with purposeful deceipt.
Appreciate your continued mentor ship through public appearances, books, and code review (Envy Labs feature focus). Thank you.

I fell I owe a lot to David and Jason. Their ideas shaped the way I think about business and software.
What Jason said about feature request is so true. Clients don’t really know what exactly they want (“I need a faster horse”).
I think all problems regarding software quality can be summarized in a few words: lack of passion. There are lots of people who love programming, but what we really need is people who have a passion to solve real world problems.

This is another amazing talk from you two. I do enjoy a lot the deep thinking that Jason and David always do. They think to the core of the problem, instead of thinking of solving problems the way people think it would solve. Amazing talk !

David and Jason have really great deep thoughts. So deep, that even I’m often jealous.
