One and a half listens through. A couple moments have jumped out, nothing is sticking just yet. But, it usually takes several listens for me to get properly acquainted with a Boss album.

It should be noted that one track has a lady rapping. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, die-hard Bruce Springsteen fans!

“You are writing an application which uses a set of services. It just so happens that (some of) those services are provided by Redis servers. However, you should treat that as an implementation detail and focus on what services you need and what API you are providing to your application developers to provide them.”

“Given some preparation and calibration, you can bake the same cake from the same recipe the same way every time. But a business is not a cake – not even a cake-making business. You can retrofit “success factors” to businesses that made it big, but you can’t then reapply those factors to another business and expect the same results. Every new business is an experiment with too many variables to possibly control for: the concept, the execution, the stability of the people working on it, market forces, political turmoil, the weather, and on and on.”
