- rokkitmensch 3y agoEvery opportunity to eliminate cognitive overhead is a win for the team. As I say to my children on the reg, "What's the best way to clean up a mess? Don't make it in the first place."
- brayhite 3y agoAs my children repeatedly prove: one person’s “not a mess” is another person’s disorganized chaos.
- burntsushi 3y agoTelling my child not to make a mess so he can avoid cleaning it up would not be an effective tactic at anything other than acting smug. You're presupposing that this decision is worth making for programmers in the first place. I don't see why that ought to be true.
