I'm a fairly cautious person. It's just that curiosity regularly makes me do things a cautious person should never have agreed to.

I don't like the phrase "it's all simple there". For some reason, that's usually when things get complicated.

If I say "it can be done", that doesn't at all mean I think it should be done.

It's hard for me to do something just because "the client wants it that way". I still try to understand first whether it makes technical or human sense.

If a solution is elegant but will cause problems for the next six months, to me it's not that elegant anymore.

I don't much like being responsible for things I don't control.

At some point a hard task stops being hard. It simply turns into twenty small tasks. Twenty small ones you can already reason with.

I like making things I'd want to use myself. That's probably the simplest way to know a product is genuinely convenient.

The more things I can do on my own, the calmer I feel.

There are things I can forgive in a design. And there are things after which I start asking why the designer did that at all.

I like it when everything is logical. Not necessarily simple, but logical.

I change my mind easily when new data appears. I see no point in defending the old version just because it was mine five minutes ago.
