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.
