"I actually got stuck in a gondola with him. And he was telling me about his experience and how he spent maybe the first five or six years of his career just crashing into fences and blowing up until he finally figured out how to make it all work."

What you're much better at doing is saying how do I take the problem I've got and map it into a class of algorithms about which I know and use the efficiencies of those to try and figure out how to make it work.

当你碰到问题的时候,更好的方法是把遇到的问题映射,到已经设计好的算法中去,并用这些算法来提高效率,来保证问题得到解决。
