  Even a poor sixteen-colour palette earns its keep, because colour is what lets someone tell things apart at a glance.

  Their words

  And color, even if 16 colors, and some of them weren't very good colors, but it was still so nice to have to be able to use red for alerts and to differentiate at a glance a little easier when you had color as another option.

  Function colouring is the real cost of async/await, and green threads like Go's avoid it — but for an existing runtime such as JavaScript or C#, async/await was still the right solution.

  JavaScript

  Their words

  So that's unfortunate, and that's why some environments like Go, for example, has has Go routines and green threads, which are really language emulated lightweight threads that kind of do what I'm talking about, but but at a much lower cost. But you avoid the function coloring. So there is a bunch of different things, but but you know, but for an environment that already exists like JavaScript or like C# and and the Windows event loop and and whatever, this this was the right solution.

  Learning to touch-type and to know your editor without thinking is worth it, because every glance at the keyboard spends attention the problem needs.

  Their words

  It's the same reason why I recommend learning how to type and learning your editor so well you don't even have to think about the action because the people that have to... Even if you just look down, that's still mental processing power you have to spend looking at a keyboard in which you already know where the key is.

  Gerber Fastball

  Their words

  At first glance the Fastball struck me as a humble offering, but it quickly grew on me. Mostly after I started to carry and use it. I wasn't immediately impressed when I pulled the Fastball from it's box, and as a collectible I'd probably pass. But as a user piece I can easily recommend it.

  Async/await makes asynchronous code easier to write without healing the split it created, and the divide reappears as soon as you write a higher-order function.

  Their words

  It is better. I will take async-await over bare callbacks or futures any day of the week. But we're lying to ourselves if we think all of our troubles are gone.
