We code faster, not slower. We solve the business problem on the first try, the code is clean, it doesn't have to be refactored and the solution isn't over-engineered.

I’m glad I joined Twitter after my first developer job. Some pieces of advice and roadmaps from here would’ve confused me badly. When you’re a beginner it’s difficult to discern good information from bad information. Be aware who/what you follow!

I once stared at a piece of code for 15 minutes trying to figure out what "par" meant. Eventually I realized it was "parent". Someone saved 50ms by not typing "ent". The savings was paid for by 15 mins of frustration. Don't abbreviate. Thinking is more expensive than typing.

I think one of the most destructive myths in software is that it costs more or takes longer to develop higher-quality code. IME, the higher the quality, the faster the development goes. You cannot be fast if you can't trust your code.

Bugs do not appear by magic. Somebody was paid to write them. Somebody was encouraged to work in a way that bugs would be created. The inevitability of bugs (beyond a very small number) is a myth. Their presence reflects the culture.

Hey everyone. Glad to see so many ppl progressing with #100Devs These last few months have been trying. Right now I’m at the hospital with my 16 yr old who had brain surgery before of a sinus infection gone bad. Looking forward to his recovery and then returning to #100Devs

Hey #100Devs #CatchUpCrew, just added a next class feature to 100devsfollowalong.netlify.a… If you haven't checked it out yet, it's a site I made to help keep track of the homework/slides/files for 100Devs folx. The idea is to make it easier to find the follow along info/resources

1/ Today would've been the 100th birthday of William L. Lyon, Jr. - my dear father, Lyon family patriarch, inveterate tinkerer, lover of math & science tricks & puzzles, and a kind, humble, and generous man/nerd. And he kept the lights on for the City of El Paso. 🧵
