Declutter Your Desk

There seems to be an increase of spams with using pdf attachments. I wonder if they are doing it because it gets away from spam filter more… spams are so annoying.

TV show recap

I wish IDE’s would offer refactoring to convert something like:

int len;
while ((len = read()) > 0) {
    // business operation
}

into

int len = read(); 
while (len > 0) {
    // business operation
    len = read(); 
}

Nowadays I don’t think the inline modification bothers me as much as before but I still like to have the option of easily refactor it with a click of the button (or keyboard).

One important aspect of grasping agile in my mind is to accept the fact that you cannot predict the unpredictable. Instead of making detailed plans to support the illusion that you know what is going to happen, you say “I don’t know”, but then let that knowledge, that you actually do not know be the base for how you approach your work.
