Currently Thinking About
- Why is code written by “experts” with many years of experience still such low quality?
- Can the ability to write good, understandable, high quality code be taught in a systematic way? Specifically, I am currently thinking about the process of creating good abstractions (e.g. functions and classes) by separating the “what” from the “how”.
- What is the deal with all the great classical music and philosophy that came out of Vienna?
