Hetook the first scientific approach towards maximizing efficiency inmanufacturing jobs. Time is money. Faster is better. More hours are better.Hours are bullshitHours are great ways to determine productivity in many industries, but notours. Working in a startup is a much different experience than working in afactory. You can’t throw more time at a problem and expect it to get solved.Code is a creative endeavor. You need to be in the right mindset to crea...

A lot of people love to talk the talk when it comes to writing clean code. They'll stress their dedication to it, in some ca...

Stop doing this:public boolean foo() { if (true) {   return true;   }  else {   return false;   }}It always amazes me when I dig into an open source project, and I see code written by supposed experts, and reviewed by seasoned professionals, and nobody slaps the wrists of the developer who shoves return statements right in the middle of a method.Tell me, how hard is it to do this:public boolean foo() {   boolean flag = true;   if (true) {    flag=true; }   else {   flag=...
