  • Yes. The whole post is a trick with statistics. Web pages have a limited lifespan. You can do the aame trick with human life spans.

    “50 % of humans that lived 60 years ago are now dead”. You would tweak the numbers to be factual but something like that makes sense to me.

    If you only keep the samples you started out with, of course it’s going to decline over time. The data is guaranteed to not grow since nothing is ever added.










  • That leads to focusing on the nitty gritty details first, building a library of thing you think you might need and you forget to think about the whole solution.

    If you come up with another solution half way through, you will probably throw away half of the code you already built.

    I see TDD as going depth first whereas I prefer to go breadth first. Try out a solution and skip the details (by mocking or assuming things). Once you have settled on the right solution you can fill in the details.










  • It takes getting used to but it really is much better for multi tasking to stop using alt + tab and minimize altogether. Send one window to desktop 1 and another to desktop 2. Now you have consciously chosen where they are and can go there quickly (i. e. Win+1).

    I always put the same program in the same place, just like organizing a toolbox/kitchen. Every tool has it’s place.

    Both macOS and Windows have virtual desktops too though.
