This is one of my favourite passages from Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon:

Randy was forever telling people, without rancor, that they were full of shit. That was the only way to get anything done in hacking. No one took it personally.

It isn't at all true, but I wish it were. It would sure be nice if we could pretend that it was: I think we'd get a lot more done.
