Fight or Run
All my years of brawling, of pummeling both the unsuspecting and the deserving, have yielded two insights. You can either fight or you can run. All other strategies are variations of these.

Are you a REAL developer?
I'm getting tired of seeing other so-called "developers" pretend like they know what it means to be a real developer. Not only are most of them not the fifth album by the indie rock band Silkworm, most of them have never even heard of the indie rock band Silkworm!
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Never Take a Hard Shot
Permalink: Never Take a Hard ShotI saw this thread go by on twitter and I thought it was some excellent advice.
Don't solve hard problems. Break hard problems down into easy problems and solve those easy ones instead.
Interesting Numbers
If you map every letter to a sequence of numbers, every book can be expressed as a number.
If you then prefix these numbers with "0." You will have a number between 0 and 1. This means that every book, every story, and all written language (now and in the future) exists as fractions between 0 and 1.
It all already exists, we just have to find the interesting numbers.

Why are we always wading?
So, why does it happen? Why are we always wading?
There are many factors that contribute to it. Let’s picture a company growing, hiring more employees to grow faster, new developers come in, old developers leave, the dynamic business changes the requirements quite constantly, the communication between IT and business has gaps, developers are so focused to achieve the sprint commitment, the rush is always putting pressure on everyone working on the project, no one cares to learn about the user-product relationship, no one cares to write tests, developers cannot design as it seems not to deliver short term value, TDD is philosophical, the company doesn’t invest time to train its teams, the most valuable practice is what solves the today’s problem, hero culture rises, we always need more logs to try to realise what is going on, we need to lead the market…
