“When we build, we take bits of others’ work and fuse them to our own choices to see if alchemy occurs. Some of those choices are informed by best practices and accrued wisdom; others are guided by the decisions of the work cited as inspiration; while a large number are shaped by the disposition and instincts of the work’s creator. These fresh contributions and transformations are the most crucial, because they continue the give-and-take of influence by adding new, diverse material to the pool to be used by others.” by @fchimero

Inside Facebook:

What happens inside the wall of Facebook and the details of their hacker way and management philosophy.

Senior leaders are more coaches and facilitators, than bossess and gatekeepers. Their main role is to spot and encourage new ideas that every can then show to Mark.

Every 12 to 18 months, engineers are required to leave their teams and work on something else for a month.

Cornerstone of ethos is the hackathon to test out new, crazy ideas.

Mock-ups are favored oer conversations.

There isn’t one way to solve problems; there are many-and everyone is encouraged to come up with his own approach.

The Brain on Love:

A relatively new field, called interpersonal neurobiology, draws its vigor from one of the great discoveries of our era: that the brain is constantly rewiring itself based on daily life. In the end, what we pay the most attention to defines us. How you choose to spend the irreplaceable hours of your life literally transforms you.

All relationships change the brain — but most important are the intimate bonds that foster or fail us, altering the delicate circuits that shape memories, emotions and that ultimate souvenir, the self.
