I view code as both a means to effective #software & an ends as intellectual #expression. My #APIs are beautiful in how the complex appears effortless & simple.

Our knowledge, our biases, our mental shortcuts... We are the sum of our experiences. When things go wrong, take condolence in your newfound wisdom.
Deleting unwanted/unneeded #code is much easier than when I wrote it in the first place! #refactoring
Deleting #code that becomes unnecessary... it's the best feeling
I've remained quiet, but now please just tell me WHERE AND WHEN I can protest to protect our democracy. npr.org/2020/08/13/902109991… #USPSsabotage #PROTECTAMERICA #democracy
I expect next year of US life to be: 2nd wave, 3rd wave then... vaccine??? But unlike South Korea, the new infection or death rate probably won't dramatically fall til the vaccine. vox.com/2020/5/11/21254451/s…

When #debugging in a deep call hierarchy, as you descend the hierarchy and examine each call, write a story. Read it back as you consider solutions. This approach just helped me, like clockwork, to fix an exception thrown deep within a call stack.
After using @googlemaps today, I realized the world really is round! And this whole time I've been suspecting it was propped up on turtles' backs, with fire breathing dragons waiting to eat me if I fell off the edge.

Consuming a #Csharp base class that has a property typed as a generic type parameter can be painful. Eliminate the type param by typing the prop as the constraining type. Derived classes can then hide the prop with one typed more specifically than the base class prop's type..

Alternatively, if you need the type param for more than just properties, create a non-generic interface or abstract base class that has the members you need to access non-generically.

If you develop a pure and sincere motivation, if you are motivated by a wish to help on the basis of kindness, compassion, and respect, then you can carry on any kind of work, in any field, and function more effectively.

Pitch competitions / business plan competitions / etc are fantasy roleplaying minus most of the things that make fantasy roleplaying educational and enjoyable. It is unlikely they are a productive use of time versus asking an actual prospect to buy an actual thing.
