Optimizing for happiness is very good advice for beginners. The failure mode for beginners is to get overwhelmed, discouraged, and then give up. So it makes sense to pay more attention to how happy a particular programming environment makes

Why, apart from expedience, do designers of experiments share an institutional affiliation with the experimenters themselves? I wonder what would happen if the two groups were far apart, and if communication between them restricted to the t
