Programming tip. Be careful when writing logic that uses constants or configurable values. Always assume they will change in the future and write your code accordingly. #programming

I stopped fixating on what text editor to use around the same time I stopped caring what cell phone I had. Coincidence?

[Colin Morgan @ColinMTech]

The developers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

@presleytieman Dictionaries are one of the most important topics when learning Python. They serve as the backbone for more complex data structures like sets, and are also a good introduction to the concept of hash tables. Great topic to deep dive on.

@tanoaksam Definitely possible but it puts a cap on your salary. As soon as I decided to just play the game, I started seeing huge jumps in income. Just comes down to what you want out of your career.

It's always hilarious to see how fast project management methodologies get thrown out the window as soon as there's a bug in prod or a monetary opportunity with a short window. 🤔

@JamesIvings @Airbnb I can hear the team meeting already. "Now, here at AirBnB we don't have a blame culture. So this is a great learning opportunity. On a separate and unrelated note, our intern's last day was yesterday."

@ryanchenkie Every tool in the box has it's uses. Learning which one is for which is part of that journey to mastery.

@DThompsonDev That, unlike DC, when dealing with AC batteries, the black wire goes on the positive terminal :(

@levelsio I'm just sitting here in Canada, all by myself.

[Colin Morgan @ColinMTech]

@Dayveed_eth Sorry about that. Should be fixed now.
