    I have divorced my job duties as much as possible from writing good code. To this day I write zero unit tests and nobody complains about it. Win. Being a good programmer is utterly tedious.

    Education is extremely important.

                          That sucks. Misstep for Apple to be making those noises IMO.

                          In an unrelated note, Sam Harris’ Twitter account seems to be gone. Maybe just a glitch. He’s been asking “tough questions” similar to the Milo question.

                            Really Hates them

                                That’s not the reason. He just didn’t like the way Twitter and its negativity was affecting his perception of people.

                                    In which he admits his disgust reflex overwhelms his reason, even as he understands rationally that it shouldn't. That's how I've always described the psychologies of TDS sufferers, as Sam is. I guess it's inevitable that humans will respect their own disgust reflex, rather than question it. It's our "full stop" emotion.

                                          Maybe the developers can unionize and collectively bargain with Apple.
