To be fair, everybody mentioned in this tweet (including the tweeter) write code that is sublime. But it's nice to see them all complimenting each other.😀
"I feel like Salieri. I understand the greatness. I don't understand how it's done."
Well said, Craig Silverstein! We all feel that way when looking at Sanjay Ghemawat's code.

This is a great visualization of the pain inherent in personal growth.
Actually the Art Thing I think about most is this graph (created by painter Marc Dalessio). No joke I think about this graph every single day. I've told my therapist about it. It's gotten me through a lot of dark slumps. I try to tell myself my wrist just is catching up to my eye

I'm a type 1 diabetic, and the projects listed in this article have made a huge positive impact on my health and my life. I'm proud to be able to contribute in a small way to this movement. Huge thanks to the heroes that have made this possible!
So many people have contributed in their spare time to pushing this tech forward. They can’t all be credited in one article, but this one does better than many others.

This is so true. My son Remy - now 3 1/2 years old - will graduate from college in 2036. We don't know what that world will look like, but we must prepare him and children like him for the future. I believe that learner centric progress education is part of the solution.

7/ There are lots of baked-in safety measures. The developers treat this _very_ carefully. We are all diabetic and this can be dangerous. But the proof is in the results - my A1C score went from ~8.0 to ~6.5 in 18 months. This is a life-changing health improvement for me.
