“Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me – they’re
shy and they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. In fact, the
very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone where they can control an
invention’s design without a lot of other people designing it for marketing or
some other committee. I don’t believe anything really revolutionary has been
invented by committee. If you’re that rare engineer who’s an inventor and also
an artist, I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That
advice is: Work alone. You’re going to be
best able to design revolutionary products and features if you’re working on
your own. Not on a committee. Not on a team.”
