  1. 1.

  2. – Leah Silber “If you have a brand and/or a

    mascot that correctly emotes something specific, it makes it easier for the people in the leadership roles to then actually meet those ideals.”
  3. – Leah Silber “Our tagline is ‘The framework for ambitious

    apps’ and it’s actually really hard to juxtapose friendliness and ambition next to each other. They’re not two things that you would normally package up.”
  4. – Lindsey Wilson “When you create characters… you pick things

    that are iconic but also adaptable.
 
 Tomster wasn’t overly done and he could embody what a developer is. He doesn’t have a lot of distinct features but just enough to say: okay, this is for me.”
  5. – Tom Dale “When you’re operating at the edge of

    something oftentimes one of the biggest hindrances to making progress is not having a shared vocabulary. 
 We like to help ourselves frame our thinking
 by trying to coin terminology.”
  6. BYOP (Bring Your Own Project) Project Nights are all about

    jumping in, getting help and giving back. Be that working on an upstream change to Ember itself or a side project using Ember. The sessions are informal, friendly and agenda-less.
  7. “Documentation, at a very high level, is essentially defining public

    API. There have been several cases where attempts to document either Ember or related libraries have turned into public API changes”
  8. – Trek Glowacki “If something’s difficult to explain, it probably

    means we’re exposing the wrong primitives.”
  9. – Yukihiro Matsumoto “Programmers often feel joy when they can

    concentrate on the creative side of programming, so Ruby is designed to make programmers happy. I consider a programming language as a user interface, so it should follow the principles of user interface.”

  11. – Kasper Tidemann “I’ve come to find that having a

    solid visual base of operations is sometimes more important than having code that’s perfect.”
  12. – Stefan Penner “[An open project] has that mud on

    the floor from the construction workers; you don’t mind walking in again with your boots on. It has to feel hackable, parts have to be accessible.”
  13. – Yehuda Katz “It’s really important that the feeling you

    get when you’re an active contributor is pretty close to the feeling of being a core contributor, minus the cases where an executive decision has to be made.”
  14. – Alex Matchneer “Ember has a philosophy that there’s nothing

    really set about the technology today. It’s more the idea that there should be conventions around these problems we’re solving every day.”
  15. – Lindsey Wilson “When you create characters… you pick things

    that are iconic but also adaptable.
 
 Tomster wasn’t overly done and he could embody what a developer is. He doesn’t have a lot of distinct features but just enough to say: okay, this is for me.”

  18. – Trek Glowacki “The value of a framework is not

    the source code at all. The value is really the patterns and the understanding that people got working through what the problems were.”
