Item 1 in our code review guidance: 1. Be kind. Yes, a person is not their code, but writing code is a creative act. Creators are by nature intimately involved with their creation. You're going to be critiquing another person's creation, at a minimum, be kind when you do it.

The value of money is created through the people believing in it.
I think I like carpentry/electrical/etc. because you can take a pile of things in a fairly useless form and transform them into something very useful for a lifetime. And I like programming for the same reason.

"Uber will use artificial intelligence to identify drunk passengers. It will use factors like time of day, pickup location, and how long a user interacts with the app before making a decision." That's not AI. That's an if statement.

Reminder: Unit tests only cover what someone thought of. They do *nothing* to cover the unknown. They are a great thing to have, but be aware of what they are and what they aren't. Don't treat them as all-covering magic.

It's important to realize a person can be very knowledgeable about one thing while being a complete idiot about another. This is also true for mentors. People are far from infallible.

I believe that we are each born with innate ability to do certain things well. When we discover what it is only a fool would ignore it.

Me: What's the wifi password? Barman: You need to buy a drink first. Me: Okay, I'll have a coke. Barman: Is Pepsi okay? Me: Sure. How much is that? Barman: £3. Me: There you go. So what's the wifi password? Barman: You need to buy a drink first. No spaces, all lowercase.

Die #AfD fordert Deutsch als Landessprache. Der SPD-Abgeordnete Johann #Saathoff reagiert im Bundestag mit einer Rede auf Platt. Warum, das erklärt er im @zeitonline-Interview – ebenfalls auf Platt: zeit.de/kultur/2018-03/deuts…

Russische #Hacker sollen im Regierungsnetz geschnüffelt haben. Sehen wir es positiv, zumindest ist die Digitalisierung so weit fortgeschritten, dass man uns hacken kann. #APT28

I bought some milk over the weekend and also picked a new JavaScript framework to use. At least one of these will be out of date before the week's up.

puts your life into perspective when someone is shooting a car into space, you're spending an hour looking at a production site wondering why your local changes aren't being reflected
