    “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

    ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Airman’s Odyssey

    That makes it sound like I live a much more minimalistic life than I do. But when I write code (and writing code is a big part of my life), I apply the fuck out of that quote.

      Hahaha I love this quote, I came by it recently when I was looking up the history / philosophy of fixed gear bikes. The quote summarizes the fixie ideology perfectly 😂

    Mine are:

    “you don’t have to talk about what you know, but you have to know what you’re talking about.”

    And

    “don’t have a wish bone where a back bone should be.”
