I can confirm there are no school buses in Amsterdam. School kids do use the extensive public transport network to get to school on occasion.

I would say something like "hup!" (friendly) or "doorspelen, pannenkoek!" (less friendly, but would score you points).

There's a rough Dutch equivalent encouragement "gas erop!" or "gas op die lolly!". Literally translated: "gas on it!" and "gas on that lollipop!". Both imply that you should increa…

Smart devs know they probably get the abstractions wrong until the third iteration. This sounds like a sane policy.

Not every product is maintained for years. In many cases it's good to be able to choose between a quick solution and a good solution, as long as these are concious decisions and so…
