1. Anyone show up for the last meeting? I was out of town.
2. I have been reading a couple of programming books and wanted to share an
'ah hah!' quote or two from Code Complete:
"*Hurrying to solve a problem is one of the most time-ineffective things
you can do.*
If you’re both *building code and debugging it*, you have to *switch quickly
* between the *fluid, creative thinking that goes with design* and the *rigidly
critical thinking that goes with debugging. *
As you read your code, you have to battle the code’s familiarity and guard
against *seeing what you want to see*."
Now I know why my head hurts when trying to quickly fix an error in the
code.
Happy Halloween.
