I have always been bewildered by the anti-meeting sentiment in the tech community. There seems to be an assumption that meetings are bad. But obviously, meetings facilitate communication. You can waste a lot more time by not having a mee

I read The Unbearable Lightness of Being when I was about 21 and I remember thinking it was utterly boring and pointless. I just didn't get it. Maybe I was too young?

Ok, you prefer to deal with entire classes of bugs in order to keep using objects because you incorrectly think that objects model the world better. I used to have the same perspective, and all I can say is that you'll either grow out
