Most "Teach Kids Programming" are build on the idea that programming means sitting still in front of a keyboard typing stuff. Most kids under 10 can manage at most about 15 minutes of that before getting bored and either wanting t

If you're using regular expressions for lexing anything moderately complex, e.g a wiki markup, you could easily find yourself needing 100+ groups, especially if you're generating the expressions from some kind of input grammar

What's probably slowed adoption of that approach is too much "web thinking" in the app design process and too much "But what does Google / Facebook / Twitter do?" In fact Twitter provides SMS based signup

> the claim [...] doesn't hold up when the most popular app in the world forces uses to log in. Strongly disagree. Facebook (which I assume is what you mean by "the most popular app") was and still is _the_ social network.

With all due respect this argument makes me crazy. So the answer to shitty office environments is drowning it out with noise? I have partial tinnitus thanks to this kind of thinking. And every time you get management to the point where they
