@SwiftOnSecurity "Vote harder!"

Everyone should vote, don't get me wrong, but when the people you vote for squander that power, then what?

@foone By the same argument, you burn your brain out if you use good grammar.

What actually goes on is this: you learn how to write clear, maintainable code through practice and self-examination, and then it becomes a habit, so it takes no effort at all.

For example, I use assertions quite a lot when I initially write code, just so they go off if something goes wrong. I don't even think about it as I do it. Later, I remove most of them because they're clearly redundant.

@foone Come now.

Programming is an engineering discipline! There are very few happy little accidents. You want code that does exactly what you intended it to.

Everyone understandably loves Bob Ross, I do too, but he isn't a good example for programmers, engineers, surgeons, or airplane pilots to follow.
