quotes
A million dollars isn't cool; you know what's cool? Air conditioning.
All roads lead to types.
JavaScript is great fun until you realize your project's written in it.
You have one problem and add a cache; now you have one problem.
Anticipation often trumps realization.
En la bañera no se baila.
