    Shoot, well if this is the way the world works, I better get some flash cards to talk as a doctor/mechanic/craftsmen/anything-else before I even think of talking to them. The horro…

    I feel like this is a long-winded way of saying what Linus already has famously said: "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their …

    On one screen, I have inspirational / epic / fantasy music going with pictures always changing (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWQbkJA9ZQs ) I get bored of coding so I li…
