12. Kiss conventions
goodbye
He had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they
found it to be
A map they could all understand.
"What's the good of Mercator's North Poles and
Equators,
Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?"
So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would
reply
"They are merely conventional signs!"
"Other maps are such shapes, with their islands
and capes!
But we've got our brave Captain to thank:"
(So the crew would protest) "that he's bought us
the best—
A perfect and absolute blank!"
Lewis Caroll, “The Hunting of the Snark”

24. Obscure Ideas Bad?
“After all, the world’s
bravest and most
important ideas are
often forged away
from the spotlight - in
small, obscure groups
of people who are
passionately
interested in a subject
and like arguing about
it.”
“Maybe we should be
designing tools that
reward obscurity - …”

Nice post! We should be able to
support a custom “queue” strategy
within Spring Integration such that
namespace support would be available
with something like a “ref” attribute or
inner-bean defined within a queue
element…

• Cherish the impulse
• Obscure *can* be good
• How would I do this without…?
• Leverage Cross-over Effects
• Kiss conventions goodbye
• Your perspective matters
• Train your imagination
• Don’t bet on a single horse
• Express yourself

43. Being Lost is a
Necessity
If you don’t care where you
want to be, you cannot
actually be lost.
If you are never lost, you don’t
care where you want to be.
44. Finally, there is no substitute for ‘the
dreariness of labour and the loneliness of
thought’ -- even though it
has been joked that committees are a place
where people seek refuge
from that.
-- Frederik P. Brooks
