AlrecenkIf you write a piece of code well, you'll never have to write it again. You will benefit from how well it's written every time you use it. How fast you produce code is not an important thing to measure. Even if it was, focusing on the short-term sabotages the long term. #coding
I was looking at my #WorldFabric APIs yesterday, and the thought crossed my mind "none of my employers would have allowed me to build this". The answer to why I can build something big companies can't is not that I'm special. It's that their culture doesn't allow spending years to make something nice for developers that doesn't generate revenue.
player_03@Alrecenk Exactly why I like programming so much. I get to put in the time and effort to really solve a problem correctly, and if I do it well enough the problem stays solved. That frees me up to work on something else, where I'll learn something.
Unlike the real world, where everything always needs cleaning, maintenance, or restocking. I'm not going to learn anything from sweeping dust for the hundredth time, but I have to do it or suffer the consequences.
