Michael Lopp
“A Disaster is the end result of poor management. When your employee believes totally losing their shit is a productive strategy, it’s because they believe it’s the only option left for making anything change.”
Michael Lopp, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager

“La necesidad de construir consensos es la pata floja y uno de los principales desafíos de big data en la cuestión pública. Tal vez un complejo algoritmo pueda producir (e informarnos) una tasa de pobreza o una medición del PBI sobre la base de datos tomados por un robot computacional directamente de internet. De hecho, es un procedimiento sencillo, que se usa en la práctica. El verdadero desafío es dotar a este algoritmo de un consenso que garantice su credibilidad y relevancia. Dotar de consenso a cualquier estadística (proveniente de medios tradicionales o de big data) es tal vez el desafío más delicado que plantea la masividad de datos: el de la construcción de convenciones útiles.”
Walter Sosa Escudero, Borges, big data y yo: Guía nerd (y un poco rea) para perderse en el laberinto borgeano (Ciencia que ladra… serie Mayor)

Brian Catlos
“Yet, the invasion was not one prong of a grand campaign on the part of the caliphate to conquer “Europe,” which was at that time a poor and underdeveloped backwater and did not figure at all in the Arabo-Islamic imagination.”
Brian Catlos, Kingdoms of Faith: A New History of Islamic Spain

Brandon Sanderson
“No army, no matter how clean its reputation, walked away from war untainted. And no leader, no matter how noble, could help but sink into the crem when he stepped into the game of conquest.”
Brandon Sanderson, Rhythm of War

Brian Catlos
“In his own time, the Cid was a warrior of legendary stature among both Christians and Muslims of the peninsula, who praised or cursed him not according to their religious affiliation but according to whether he had appeared to them as a liberator or a scourge. This was a culture that glorified brutality in the pursuit of wealth and glory. Ballads extolling his feats, the medieval equivalent of today’s narco-corridas, which rhapsodize the exploits of modern frontier outlaws, were sung around countless campfires.”
Brian Catlos, Kingdoms of Faith: A New History of Islamic Spain
