quoi

Per the disputed quote of Cardinal Richelieu: Qu'on me donne six lignes écrites de la main du plus honnête homme, j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre.

From my perspective, there's a certain je ne sais quoi of real hacking, and it has nothing to do with churning out an MVP in a weekend.

Which puts us firmly in the (disputed) land of Cardinal Richelieu: Qu'on me donne six lignes écrites de la main du plus honnête homme, j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre.

On some level it certainly does remove that je ne sais quoi from the topic, but on the other hand it illuminates it somewhat (so long as the terminology isn't too slanted).

Better known as Cardinal Richelieu: Armand Jean du Plessis, Cardinal-Duc de Richelieu et de Fronsac The quotation is also disputed: Qu'on me donne six lignes écrites de la main du plus honnête homme, j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre.

This is less true since Chrome 38, which supports proper web font rendering for Windows, but I'll maintain that Gecko's compositor output still has a certain je ne sais quoi compared to everything else.

I feel confident that we could maintain our overall levels of personality/joie de vivre/je ne sais quoi by spending less time dealing with an incredibly arbitrary calendar system and more time doing things we actually enjoy.

I've never done it, but I have a strong sense that pharmahuasca would be cold, sterile, and missing some of the je ne sais quoi that the "shaman piss" [1] experience offers.

I love the random quote from "Withnail & I" in this - "A certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh so very special", spoken by the late, great Richard Griffiths.

I hear you, and I probably agree, but the entrepreneurial spirit can be found in the most unlikely of places, and whatever the je ne sais quoi is that makes a great founder might well be as common among "help desk or equivalent".

"I feel confident that we could maintain our overall levels of personality/joie de vivre/je ne sais quoi by spending less time dealing with an incredibly arbitrary calendar system and more time doing things we actually enjoy." Backing your claim, I'd observe this is already a manifested fact.
