The best book on programming for the layman is Alice in Wonderland, but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
—Alan J. Perlis
Joyce himself told Arthur Power, "What is clear and concise can't deal with reality, for to be real is to be surrounded by mystery." Human kind, it is clear, can't stand much reality. We so fiercely hate and fear our cloud of unknowing that we can't believe sincere and unaffected, Joyce's love of the clear dark—it has got to be a paradox . . . an eccentricity of genius.

My career advice remains very simply:
- get out of a job that largely bores and frustrates you
- get into one that includes an element of creation, invention or new development. Something that requires you to stretch, learn and grow to succeed or else, you will fail. Something that channels your creative energies etc.
