“Naming Things is Hard”

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve heard that “Naming things is hard.” This is said very often in the world of software development. So I wanted to take the time to address it.

Make the Impossible Possible

[Don’t Listen to the Naysayers.] How many times have you heard that you can’t do this and you can’t do that and it’s never been done before? I love it when someone says that no one has ever done this before, because then when I do it that means that I’m the first one that has…

Don’t check your email before…

…you go to bed. Yes, just as I was about to go to bed to sleep I decided to check my e-mail. It was there I found a Termination Notice for my storage unit. I knew I was about one month late with payments, but then my eyes saw the following “The Auction will be…
