#摘录
I think the most important thing to do, is to focus on doing what you love. If you’re worried about where you’re going, where this all will take you, if you’re too focused on the destination, I think you’ll miss the journey. When you do what you love, it turns out that the things you do in your spare time, like on my time, if I have a moment on the weekend, I’m gonna be reading things about programming, I’m gonna be reading things about software, or artificial intelligence, because that’s what I love! So it’s like, if you do something you love, it’s like cheating, because, all of your, your recreational time actually turns into time that helps you develop in your career. That part is super-important. (

笔记：对比是我们的阿喀琉斯之踵，从小时候的能力到长大后的事业，我们从被迫对比到默默内卷，年青却默认自己已是社会的失败者，将时间精力耗费在琐碎小事上，望着窗外耸立的高高成就只能不断叹气。殊不知，眼中的天才极点其实是神的平面，而神其实也只是普通人，只不过祂爱着自己喜欢的事。可是他们永远不能明白！——他们渴望比肩巨人，却永远无法超越，因为他们毫无视野；他们错失沿途风景，而僵硬走向终点，他们一直浪费时间！
Q: And I’m curious, what made you different from all the other coding monks that are still like stuck in their cubicles, you know, 40 years later? How did you get to the top of like one of the best companies?
A: I have no idea. I mean, I... Luck. I mean, I think the, you know, the things I talked about, I guess, the way it, the way it felt to me along the way was I guess I had good fortune of being drawn to some interesting projects, some interesting parts of the industry that, maybe, at times didn’t look like they were necessarily the hot thing, but they were something that turned out be meaningful. I think I was always focused on, at any given time, trying to solve the right problem for the team. And when you’re working on a project, and you’re devoted to the success of the project and solving all the problems of the project, that’s where people, that’s like the point that they, that someone said, “Hey, you should manage this team.” You know, when I was an individual contributor, and they said, “You should manage this team.” I had no aspirations of management at that time. It was super-early, it seemed weird. But, it was because my focus had been not just my narrow thing, but like what can I do for the team, what are all the different problems I can solve? They said, “Oh, you should probably manage it. You seem to have this broader concern for the project.” And when I was then managing my team, but I was kinda concerned about how my project fit in with other projects, and solving that broader problem, and trying to help out here and there, they said, “Oh, you should lead this collection.” You know they kept pulling, they kept pulling me up. And at some point I’m like, what are you doing? You’re making a big mistake. But it is, I think, if you’re not too worried about getting there, but you’re just trying to do the job, at times, it turns out that people see in you, maybe, being the solution to a problem they have to solve, which is get something led. So maybe that’s it, or maybe it’s just, you know, being a high school radio DJ. I know, hard to say, hard to say. (

笔记：作为学习者，我们时常会担忧自己知识的深度和广度，但其实我们担忧的是自己所在的社会高度，因为学习本身只是一种好奇心罢了，好奇心怎么会让人担忧呢？至于深度和广度，其实应该跳出横纵两维去思考，以非方向的面和体去思考，不断地学习改进扩展是因为自己想要将之全面完整，而不是以有涯随无涯。好奇心本身是任意无方向的，为之指定方向是反生命非自由的，而方向是否与历史同向是未知非自己可控的，与否更多的只是巧合幸运。跟随好奇心去做自己喜欢的事，而不去担忧自己所在的高度。
