A Ph.D. does not have to cure cancer or enable cold fusion.

At best a handful of chemists remember what Einstein’s Ph.D. was in.

Einstein’s Ph.D. dissertation was a principled calculation meant to estimate Avogadro’s number. He got it wrong. By a factor of 3.

He still got a Ph.D.

A Ph.D. is a small but significant contribution to human knowledge.

Among the many lessons banks and credit unions could learn from retailers is the maxim, “Put the milk in the back of the store.” The underlying rationale is intuitive: Drive consumers past everything else you sell as they make their way to the one thing they need most often.

Of all in-app UIWebView implementations I’ve ever seen in iOS apps, Tumblr’s is the most brilliant. The small bar on the top of the screen works better than any other loading indicators.

In October, when we thought we were almost finished, engineers who had been helping us had me demonstrate our software to their managers. A dozen people packed into my office. I didn’t expect their support, but I felt obliged to make a good-faith effort to go through their official channels. I gave a twenty-minute demonstration, eliciting “oohs” and “ahhs.” Afterward, they asked, “Who do you report to? What group are you in? Why haven’t we seen this earlier?” I explained that I had been sneaking into the building and that the project didn’t exist. They laughed, until they realized I was serious. Then they told me, “Don’t repeat this story.”

An amazing story.
