16. I have no control over the network. It
could be fast, it could be slow, it could be
down entirely.

17. I have no control over the end device. It
could be a phone, a laptop, an e-reader, a
watch, a tv. It could be top-of-the line or
it could be budget device with low specs.
It could be a device released the other
day, or a device released 5 years ago.

18. I have no control over the client running
on that device. It could be the latest and
greatest of modern browsers. It could be
one of those browsers we developers love
to hate. It could be a proxy browser. It
could be an in-app browser.

19. I have no control over the visitor or their
context. They could be sitting down. They
could be taking a train somewhere. They
could be multitasking while walking down
the street. They could be driving (I know).
They could be color-blind.

46. When I am trying to learn a new technology, it's

some code. What's hard is to really wrap my
head around why I want to use which thing.
That's frequently the thing that's not well-
explained or well-documented.

66. The ability to fix text, to set it, to distribute that
text to others in such a way that it can be reliably
accessed by everyone such that everyone gets
the exact same text, turns out to be required for
a society to rapidly increase its collective
understanding of the world.
-Mandy Brown
67. And it’s a requirement because learning is an
iterative and cumulative process, where each bit
of knowledge is refined and developed and built
on to make the next.
