    I've been running into this phenomenon a lot and its not isolated to java developers. We recently had a class on Clojure 101 and the main audience was Obj-C/Swift developers. A lot…

    I work out for about 4.5 hours a week (3 ~1.5 hour sessions, 30m cardio and 1h lifting) and count calories. Fortunately I have a nice gym at my work and it allows me to leave after…
