From the first days of my career as an entrepreneur, I have always used my own and my team's lack of experience to our advantage.

Our inexperience fed our restless enthusiasm for trying new things, which became part of our core mission. — Richard Branson

Pace is crucial. Fine writing isn't enough. Writing students can be great at producing a single page of well-crafted prose; what they sometimes lack is the ability to take the reader on a journey, with all the changes of terrain, speed and mood that a long journey involves.

The issues involved are sufficiently important that courses are now moving out of the philosophy departments and into mainstream computer science. And they affect everyone. Many of the students attracted to these courses are not technology majors, and many of the topics we discuss relate to ethical challenges that transcend the computer world. — D. Michael Quinn
