It's about time my custom build reflection framework started getting the attention and praise it deserves.

Since any for loop can be a while loop, I've implemented a coding standard where only while loops are permitted, so as to keep things simple. And don't even get me started on foreach.

Protip: if you want to make, hands down, the most stable APIs, make every parameter and return value an object.

For those of you wondering why I haven't tweeted in so long, I think the reason should be obvious to everyone: A Twitter bug was preventing all of the tweets I definitely, actually wrote from going live.

I'll let y'all in on a little pro-tip: When someone stumps you with buzzword X that you don't know, just counter with "well, we actually have more of an X pipeline." You immediately win the argument. Go ahead, try it with anything you want: agile, DevOps, lean You're welcome.

I'm a big believer in "under-promise and over-deliver." Like, take yesterday. I told the team I wanted a 15 minute meeting to lecture everyone about our coding standard. But then I over-delivered on the meeting by 2 hours, taking us right through lunch.

Sorry for the lapse in Tweets of late. I've been crazy busy for the last month supervising the merge phase after an entire year's worth of everyone developing their features. We've finally got it compiling!

Everyone below me in the pecking order can be explained by merit. Everyone above me by the Dilbert Principle.

Welp, I just learned a new design pattern. So I think we all know that I'm about to golden hammer every one of you to death with it.

"Well actually" and "You know, technically" are my love language.

Why do people talk about code complexity like it's a bad thing? I mean, how would you rather someone describe _you_ -- as "simple" or as "complex?" QED

Tabs vs spaces? Why the false dichotomy? I like to mix it up a little -- variety is the spice of life.

I honestly don't mind commits that break the build. I just think, "they'll figure out what I was trying to do and fix it."

I'm tired of hearing about our "suboptimal code in tight loops" and "algorithm runtimes." My algorithm is O(shut the &$#% up), kid.

When people talk about ways to reduce cylcomatic complexity, I find that goto and break statements are badly underused.

If there's any way we can even semi-plausibly couch this issue as user error, you better believe we're going to lean all the way into that and milk it for everything it's worth.

The best part about our upcoming migration to the cloud is that application memory leaks really don't matter anymore.

Declaring variables close to where you use them is fine in toy applications, but in real life, where methods are thousands of lines long, declarations go at the top of the method in their own region, like a table of contents.
