Alex Speech
If you work in the software field, then you must read this speech by Alex Stepenov (Principal Scientist, Adobe Systems) at Adobe India on 30 Nov 2004.
He doesn’t speak about any out-of-this-world concepts, but simple things that we should remember. It could be summarised as ‘Go back to your roots’ , but its still a worthy read.
Tip of the hat to Azmi for sending this to me in the first place.
