Piano. 43 now, played maybe 2 years in primary school. My partner got a good quality electric one with headphones. This led me to start as I could practice at night while the kids slept, and not be embarrassed sucking and/or driving pe

API autocomplete and unit tests are not a replacement for a debugger, it's a separate use case. Being able to evaluate code while in the middle of a breakpoint is extremely useful. You don't need to say it doesn't matter. You

I skimmed that code at the start of the pandemic and it was pretty tragic, eg how accurate could deaths be when there were no nursing homes in their models?
