On Eudora, email, and enjoyment…

To have other people use and enjoy your program is probably what a certain breed of programmer is really interested in. That’s the ultimate reward.

On institutional memory…

…a crisis happens precisely when the institutional memory of the last crisis has faded: when all the key chairs are occupied by people who aren’t scared any more, the same mistakes get repeated.

So why do some indie games look like crap?

On WeWork and greater fools (in a good rant)…

The ownership structure chart is similar to a hieroglyphic on a cave wall about the survival of the species: Harvest the crops when the sun is high in the horizon, do not venture over the hills, hostile tribes live there, and… don’t buy this stock.

On peaks, declines, work, and life…

Whole sections of bookstores are dedicated to becoming successful. The shelves are packed with titles like The Science of Getting Rich and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. There is no section marked “Managing Your Professional Decline.”

On ethnicity, nationality and fitting in…

Just because I looked like them, and was part of an ethnic majority, life wasn’t any easier in India. Foreigners regarded me as a local person, while locals viewed me as an outsider […] I remained in a limbo as so much of my identity as an Indian is tied to being Singaporean.
