Drawn from what Steve Coast and David Heinemeier Hansson said

What these subjects mean

motivation What makes effort feel worth it: the neuroscience of wanting to act, apathy, dopamine, and habit.

innovation Where new things come from and how they spread: invention against diffusion, and being near the factory floor.
