In my mobile text communication I still insist on completing thoughts, using punctuation and capitalization, and editing what I typed for clarity before sending it. Even in private messaging. What does that make me?

ugh, break... many years of coding have taught me (the hard way, always the hard way with that fellah) that break suxs. oh well, I don't have to use the stuff that suxs.

screw variable shadowing, I hate variable shadowing; clarity is more important than saving one lousy variable naming task.
I know, I know [with apologies to Phil Karlton]:
There are just two hard things in programming: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.
let us not avoid the difficult tasks just because they are difficult. doing the hard things right will save your butt in the long run.

The most damnable thing about our lost decade in frontend is how it made stooges and collaborators of good people. Folks who didn't *mean* to make the web less useful and accessible, who never intended to lock anyone out of digital society.

My day started when I discovered that the dog took a shit on the living room rug during the night, and the robot vacuum smeared it all over the house.
Things went downhill from there.

“My theory, which I outlined in the book, is that software quality and business success, especially for individual managers, have been completely decoupled. Insisting on software development methods that are known to reduce defects and improve User Experience is more likely to harm your career than help. High-level managers and executives get rewarded for project size, not long term success.”

I’m not a screenwriter, but I am a writer, so I’ve been watching with interest this growing contempt for human creativity; this idea that the act of creation is a formula and the people who create are not the source of value but a cost; this growing desire to do away with the people who do the thing that makes so much value for all of us, in order to further enrich the already monumentally wealthy people who essentially only deliver a value that they neither appreciate nor understand.
