“The utmost thing is the user experience, to have the most useful experience.”

“Our theory is, if you need the user to tell you what you're selling, then you don't know what you're selling, and it's probably not going to be a good experience.”

“You can be good at technology and like fashion and art. You can be good at technology and be a jock. You can be good at technology and be a mom. You can do it your way, on your terms.”

“When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.”

“I was always good at math and science, and I never realized that that was unusual or somehow undesirable.”
