Jeff Atwood quotes:
-
Teaching peers is one of the best ways to develop mastery.
-
Writing code? That's the easy part. Getting your application in the hands of users, and creating applications that people actually want to use - now that's the hard stuff.

-
We have to stop optimizing for programmers and start optimizing for users.
-
If you don't have people that care about usability on your project, your project is doomed.
-
