Efficient or productive?

But being efficient is not the same as being productive.

We don’t sprint at the end, we sprint at the beginning.

Someone who works on web search once told me that they already have an algorithm that guarantees the maximum click-through rate for any web search: just return a page full of porn links. (Someone else said you can reverse this to make a porn detector: any link which has a high click-through rate, regardless of which query it's answering, is probably porn.)

What’s the point of rushing if we never get anywhere?

No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
