“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”
— Steve Jobs

Choosing quality over quantity means that you’re more invested in choosing things that can stand the test of time over choosing many things that could easily fall apart. It’s a concept that applies to many areas of life.

What really happened in Calvine? The mystery behind the best UFO picture ever seen
In August 1990, two hikers sent photos of a strange diamond-shaped aircraft to the press – but the story never appeared. Was it a prank, a hoax, an optical illusion or something else entirely?
“Clarke published the image in 2022 and the story went viral. But Clarke held back one significant detail from the public. On the back of the Calvine photo was a note in red ink, which read: ‘Copyright Kevin Russell c/o Daily Record GLASGOW.’ It seemed unlikely that a hotel chef would have thought to claim copyright, Clarke thought. Maybe Russell was a Record photographer who had become involved, or perhaps a picture editor had scribbled on the name. Clarke checked with the newspaper, which said that no one called Kevin Russell had ever worked there, either as staff or as a freelancer.”

Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills
“The study does not dispute the idea that there are situations in which AI tools may improve efficiency, but it does raise warning flags about the cost of that. By leaning on AI, workers start to lose the muscle memory they’ve developed from completing certain tasks on their own. They start outsourcing not just the work itself, but their critical engagement with it, assuming that the machine has it handled. So if you’re worried about getting replaced by AI and you’re using it uncritically for your work, you just might create a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
