An inpiring piece of reflection on designing and problem-solving,
relevant well beyond programming. Wisdom is to know how to balance the generic and the specific!

I've bookmarked your blog post for regular repeat reading!

I wrote a small post describing the vibe of a particularly plain 18 minutes of programming I happened to do.

It's informative in that it's not an example of successfully showing off, but still conveys a different feeling to bland programming advice.

Historic #ProgrammingStyle question: I remember that more than a decade ago everyone (i know of) exclusively used four spaces for #indentation. Now I see almost-exclusively two spaces for indentation. When did this switch start? What's the trend?

I suspect that it's correlated with the popularity of modern webdev brought by its Mariana-deep <div> nesting.
