As amazing as @github is, it is a tool designed to track code, not people. I'm sharing my annotated GitHub history to show you what it can't tell you about a developer.
Programmers are “detail managers”. It is our job to categorize and organize _all_ the lowest level details into a consistent and comprehensible whole. This requires mastery of a discipline of intense and prolonged focus.

It took me 7 hours and a lot of useless Googling to figure out how to code something today. The end result was 3 lines of code.

I moved from C not because of memory safety bugs (though that was a factor), but because of undefined behaviour. I've always been a bit sceptical of the idea that most bugs in good C code are memory safety bugs. OpenBSD errata stats seem to back that up. https://t.co/ixzJWULmp3
In this video David Golden (@xdg) explains how to use higher-order programming in #Perl - using functions to generate functions - "for powerful, succinct solutions to some repetitive coding problems." He covers anonymous functions and closures.
