The closest thing you can achieve in JavaScript is fake operator overloading – triggering two method calls: obj1.valueOf() obj2.valueOf() Those are made because + only works with primitive values and thus needs to convert obj1 and obj2 to primitives. It does so by invoking their valueOf() method. Fake operator overloading is much less useful than real operator overloading: You don’t get access to both operands at the same time and you can’t influence the value returned by + . We’ll later look at tricks that work around these limitations. link »

answer the question “Do you like working with these people?” with a “yes.” If you’re going to undertake the hard work of building a company, the answer to that question should always be a resounding “yes.” Life is too short for it to be otherwise. link »
unless I was fully bought into a client’s vision, my work would always be subpar. link »
The funny thing about design services is that it’s relatively easy to get started, but very tricky to make work. Lots of companies need design help in some form, so if you win one or two clients — which is actually fairly easy to do — suddenly you have a business with real revenue. The really challenging part is whether you can turn a handful of jobs into a financially lucrative client roster that consistently brings you creatively satisfying work. That’s a lot harder. link »
The only solution is to upend this equation, and create the circumstances under which clients instead feel fortunate that a studio is willing to work with them. It’s a critical difference, because it informs every event within the relationship between the two parties. link »
Good work is a core part of what makes a successful studio, to be sure, but even more important is marketing yourself — relentlessly. link »
creating insatiable excitement around the very idea of the studio. link »
turning down bad clients and bad projects — the ones that were outside of our expertise, outside of our budget, outside of the kind of work that would make us happy — was the only way to avoid the trap of working long and hard on miserable projects. link »

No matter what a design studio promises, it’s very likely that in its first iteration a digital product will take longer to complete, will cost more, and will be less effective than originally promised. The most critical time for designers to be involved in a digital product is all the time , but it’s perhaps most important for them to stick around after the launch, when they can see how a real user base is using it, and then amend, refine, revise and evolve it. But it’s at just about this time that most studios are preparing invoices and shuffling their staff on to other clients’ projects. link »

“I am never bored. I never understand people who say they are bored. I wish they could just wrap up those hours and give them to me.” Most people would get bored being Teller, spending hours upon hours, year after year, practicing and refining a single trick. But, if you are not Teller, the payoff is one beautiful 3 ½ -minute trick done with just a ball, a thread, a hoop, a bench and Teller. link »

Can you trust a teacher whose only connection to a subject is teaching it? link »
I'm sure many teachers spend their evenings thinking about teaching the subject. I have no doubt that these teachers love teaching, and love their students. But to me, that seems like a chef who loves cooking, but doesn't love food. link »
