It&amp;#x27;s a short read, here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cseweb.ucsd.edu&amp;#x2F;~wgg&amp;#x2F;smli_ps-1.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cseweb.ucsd.edu&amp;#x2F;~wgg&amp;#x2F;smli_ps-1.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;He talks about the courage it takes to do risky work in our field, and gives practical techniques for overcoming barriers, such as having collaborators, deadlines, &amp;quot;just get started&amp;quot;, stock compensation, etc.&lt;p&gt;Dr Sutherland also discusses the courage to keep going, or even _stop_ working on a project.&lt;p&gt;Given his broad background, he discusses how these dynamics play out in a wide range of fields, including education, startups, and research.&lt;p&gt;For me it is always a visceral read.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The Remarkable Ivan Sutherland</title><url>https://computerhistory.org/blog/the-remarkable-ivan-sutherland/</url></story>
