Demo or Die!
At the MIT Media Laboratory,
... the academic slogan "publish or perish" has been recodified as "demo
or die."

"When we started the Media Lab, I kept telling
people we must demo, demo, demo," said Nicholas Negroponte, the laboratory's
director. "Forget technical papers and to a lesser extent theories. Let's
prove by doing. Many folks in traditional computer science still think
that 'demo or die' is all about icing and cake. Wow, are they wrong."
