My soul is greatly troubled but Thou, O Lord, sustainest me: have mercy on me when Thou shalt come on the last day.'

Jeff Bezos: Well, I had what I considered to be an idyllic childhood. I mean, I had two parents who loved me incredibly. I also had a tremendous amount of contact with my grandparents -- my mom's parents. In fact, I spent all my summers on my grandfather's ranch not far from where we're sitting right now, not far from San Antonio. And, I spent three months every year from the age of four to the age of 16 working on the ranch with my grandfather, which was just an incredible, incredible experience. Ranchers -- and anybody I think who works in rural areas -- they learn how to be very self-reliant, and whether they're farmers, whatever it is they're doing, they have to rely on themselves for a lot of things. My grandfather did sort of all of his own veterinary care on the cattle. We would, you know, repair the D-6 Caterpillar bulldozer when it broke, and it had gears this big, you know. We would build cranes to lift the gears out. This is just a very common sort of thing that folks in far away places do. I think it was a great experience.

Translation: 'My bethrothed, you do not recognize me. Mother, you do not listen to me. Heavens, what ever did I do? And yet I am your heart, your son, your love, your hope. Speak... but you are unfaithful. Believe... but you are cruel. Will you leave me to die? Oh God! my strength and constancy fail.'

I believe that one of the most important tools or attributes you have as a developer is your memory. I am already hearing people trotting out the old, ‘I don’t need to remember anything, I’ll just Google it‘ argument :). It is a decent argument, but I can poke several holes in it without having to think too hard.
