Quotes

\u201cThose were the algorithms we were building in 1990 and are now running on this phone, this supercomputer you have in your pocket. We were building those algorithms when I started my career.\u201d

\u201cI\u2019m a change junkie. I need change all the time. That is why it\u2019s so brilliant that I landed in a career like I did. it\u2019s always changing!\u201d

\u201cI would say 80% of my motivation of writing this book is just being able to take what I had been teaching to individual customers and be able to teach that to a broader set of people.\u201d

\u201cWhat I\u2019m really talking about is redundancy of interaction because redundancy is a big part of what you do in the cloud. You have multiple instances of your running programs so if one of them goes down you still have another one and the load balancer will just shift over to that.\u201d
