Educating and understanding. “Saying all lives matter as a response to black lives matter is like saying the fire service should spray down all houses in the neighbourhood even though only one is on fire. Your house matters to but your house is not on fire” #blackouttuesday

Are you afraid of LISP (clojure)? Don’t like all the parentheses? Here, I’ll teach you LISP. A function call in Java: f(x); A function call in LISP (f x) Now you know LISP. Seriously.

After 4 years I upgraded to the new iPhone. Within a week, I managed to drop it ~20cm & the glass back massively cracked. The @Apple genius told me the *glass back* is *not* a replaceable component. I was offered the opportunity to buy a new phone. I walked away in disgust.

Never ask permission to refactor. Never ask permission to write tests. You do these things because you KNOW they are the best way to go fast. When you ask permission, you are asking someone else to take responsibility for your actions.
