Yeah I was expecting real, concrete tricks, something involving the right/perfect(?) combination of language, tool, pattern, etc.
This is just “think correctly, and often, then, no more bugs”. Not helpful?
- nottorp 2y ago> something involving the right/perfect(?) combination of language, tool, pattern It's fun to spend a few lifetimes on the quest for the perfect tool.
- corytheboyd 2y agoExactly what I’m getting at hah, its neat to see what other people come up with, to see if I want to change my own little set of perfect tools :p We all know it’s nonsense, but we’re going to do it anyway!
- atq2119 2y agoThink correctly even if it may seem inconvenient, and thinking correctly becomes an ingrained habit. And then, a lot fewer bugs. That's the analogy to the author's story about their exam. (I'm pretty sure the "no bugs" part is just hyperbole to make a point.)
