……这对知识的保留和内化吸收的作用，远胜过任何花哨的技术（我本人作为“技术宅”也这么认为）。所有伟人都笔耕不辍。直到我读了《列奥纳多·达·芬奇手稿》（Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci），才真正领悟到其重要性。文字、符号、图表等等全部汇聚在一起，用来表达思想和灵感，而且所有内容都能根据需要进行修改和扩充。正是在提炼/厘清/修改/浓缩的过程中……
…This will do more for knowledge retention and assimilation than any fancy technology (and i say this as a "techie"). All the greats wrote prodigiously. Its importance only sunk in for me when i read the Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci. Text, Symbols, Diagrams etc. are all brought together to express Thoughts and Ideas all of which can be revised and extended as needed. It is in the Refining/Clarifying/Modifying/Compressing process…
……他能做出这么多成果，简直就是个奇迹。用“真正的艺术家/工程师都准时交卷（ship）”这种烂大街的鸡汤来贬低这一切，简直是无知和傲慢到了极点。延伸阅读：*《列奥纳多·达·芬奇手稿》第一、二卷（Dover 出版社）*《达·芬奇论人体》（Leonardo on the Human Body，Dover 出版社）* 弗兰克·佐尔纳（Frank Zollner）著《达·芬奇绘画与素描全集》（Leonardo, The Complete Paintings and Drawings，Taschen 出版社）。这是一部大部头，但很值……
…an absolute miracle that he was able to do as much as he did. To dismiss it all by using platitudes like "Real artists/engineers" ship" is the height of ignorance and hubris.

I was first inspired by the Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci (get the 2-vol large prints by Dover) before i started noticing the pattern. PS: I read somewhere that Dijkstra wrote one of the first Operating Systems; The "THE" Operating System by hand on paper!
It occurs to me that I've never seen the complete notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci before now, but only individual sketches or pages. I would have thought that something like that should be easily found; after all, you can easily get the complete works of Shakespeare. I did a cursory…

……按需取用。纵观历史，所有伟人都著述颇丰。我坚信，这是直接促成他们卓越成就的决定性因素之一。在开始注意到这种规律之前，我最初是受到了《列奥纳多·达·芬奇手稿》（建议买 Dover 出版的大开本两卷本）的启发。顺便提一句：我在哪儿读到过，迪杰斯特拉（Dijkstra）最早手写在纸上的操作系统之一就是“THE”操作系统！

我突然意识到，在此之前我竟然从未见过完整的达·芬奇手稿，见过的都只是一张张素描或单页。我本以为这种东西应该很容易找到才对；毕竟，莎士比亚全集随便就能买到。我粗略搜了搜……
