Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD.

Years ago I was a student of Jiu Jitsu. As we learned and gained belt ranks, we also passed through three different fundamental areas of technique. Shodan, Nidan, and Sandan.

Software is more like science than mathematics. Mathematical expressions are provable, scientific theories are merely demonstrable. Math is deductive. Science is empirical.
Software is empirical. We demonstrate, but do not prove, correctness.

Technical debt heuristic: 1. First fix the things that make it hard to develop the new feature 2. Then build the new feature 3. Then fix the things that will become harder to fix later 4. Document the things that will be easy to fix later.

Perhaps the way many programmers like to think is too fragile to survive in a modern corporate context, where interruptions and interactions are common.
Let alone in Agile work where interactions are primary features.
How would you fix software thinking to be more robust?

I hear the "frameworks like React are overused" sentiment a lot.
Can anyone give me a concrete example of a legit production application where React (or a framework like it) was the wrong tool for the job and it should've "used the platform" instead?
RTs appreciated.

Today I stumbled across the automated refactoring tool available in VSCode. Super handy! Used "extract method" and "move to file" several times today.

Forget "likes" on social media. Having your answer selected or getting a good answer to your question on @StackOverflow is so much more gratifying.

Great talk from 2016 by @KevlinHenney that discusses the importance of readable code and clear, expressive tests. Better late than never. youtu.be/ZsHMHukIlJY via @YouTube #softwaredevelopment

#reactstrap is a library of easy to use React Bootstrap 4 components. See an example of a responsive navigation bar created using Reactstrap on Stackoverflow: goo.gl/FWW34Z
