I imagine every programmer will claim to value simplicity. Trouble is, they're all talking past each other because their working definition is "the way I personally do things".
- AdrianRossouw 13y agomaybe, except that I try to improve how I do things on every iteration. i've been finding that it helps me to think about these things in a more concrete manner, so that i can vocalize to myself what I didn't enjoy in the recent experiences.
