• \u201cI think it\u2019s important to demonstrate kicking back and just talking about what\u2019s going on in the tech world without any sort of altering your agenda.\u201d \u2014 Daniel
• \u201cI find that we have a lot of people trying to be perfect programmers who have no experience of being good enough programmers, and that\u2019s a problem the industry\u2019s had for a long time.\u201d \u2014 Daniel
