I’m More Interested in Why Things Break Than Why They Work
I don’t think I became interested in technology because I wanted to build apps.
I think I became interested because I wanted to understand things.
There’s a difference.
When something works exactly as expected, there usually isn’t much mystery left.
You press a button, something happens, and you move on.
But when something breaks, everything becomes more interesting.
Why did it fail?
Was the assumption wrong?
Was the system badly designed?
