Creativity loves constraints, ideas come from everywhere

Marissa Mayer
Innovation, design and simplicity
This talk was given on March 14, 2008 in Portland, Oregon at the 39th Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE 2008)

From the presentation, important skills set for real-life software projects:

Large projects & legacy code: taking an existing piece of code and changing it
Scale: write code that scale and tests that support that scale requirements
Resilience & Robustness: write algorithms that are inherently robust instead of recurring to manual tuning
Working in team: no one project is run by a single person, good team skill set and been able to work in team is important
