How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.
- Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night (1935)
Ideas start out tiny, weak and fragile. In order to develop and mature, ideas need an environment where the creator can nurture them. Kind of take care of them, feed them, and shape their growth...Creators need an immediate connection to what they create. And what I mean by that is when you’re making something, if you make a change, or you make a decision, you need to see the effect of that immediately.
-Bret Victor, Inventing on Principle, CUSEC 2012
