  • This statue of King was also thought to be an improper depiction.

    “We don’t even see his feet. He is embedded in the rock like something not yet fully born, suited and stern, rising from its roughly chiseled surface. His face is uncompromising, determined, his eyes fixed in the distance, not far from where Jefferson stands across the water. But kitsch here strains at the limits of resemblance: Is this the Dr. King of the “I Have a Dream” speech? Or the writer of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech?”

    -Edward Rothstein



  • Being obtuse for a moment, let me just say: build it right!

    That means minimalism! No architecture astronauts! No unnecessary abstraction! No premature optimisation!

    Lean on opinionated frameworks so as to focus on coding the business rules!

    And for the love of all that is holy, have your developers sit next to the people that will be using the software!

    All of this will inherently reduce runaway algorithmic complexity, prevent the sort of artisanal work that causes leakiness, and speed up your code.
