Innovation with James Gosling

The Sydney Morning Herald had an excellent article this morning on James Gosling - the principal creator of Java.

The Gosling creed

• Reward risk and don't penalise failure.
• Innovation is about risk and thinking that risk and failure are good things.
• You have to learn to trust crazy people. It's the people on the edge that have the most interesting, insightful comments.
• Have confidence in yourself. People you think are oracles of wisdom - they're just making it up.
• Listen carefully, and try to figure out what the problem is to solve.
