Two cogent quotes from Kathy Sierra

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

...when I was still a Sun employee, I got into serious trouble for using just ONE of the words in that phrase... cool. Yes, cool. It came up as a black mark in my annual employee performance evaluation. So Tim, times have changed when you call a Sun product "f***ing cool", and all they care about is the F-word. [...] We all have to decide what constitutes "professionalism" for our own business. And my standards might be much lower (or rather different) from yours.

And:

The generation of students we're turning out today need skills nobody really cared about 50, 40, even 20 years ago. Where we used to prepare students for a "job for life", now we must prepare students to be jobless. We must prepare them to think fast, learn faster, and unlearn even faster.
