“Well boys, looks like shoe bombs are back on the menu!”

Ryan’s got great presentation skills and style. And he does a mean Mr Bean impression.

Usually people say “premature optimization is the root of all evil” to say “small optimizations are not worth it”

No, that’s not what people mean. They mean measure first, then optimize. Small optimizations may or may not be worth it. You don’t know until you measure using real data.

Oblate spheroids.

No one goes to the Louvre, it’s too crowded.

Begun, the phone battery wars have.

'Sex is more fun than logic. One cannot prove this, but it ‘is’ in the same sense that Mount Everest ‘is’, or that Alma Cogan ‘isn’t’. Goodnight."

Git is p2p and distributed from day 1. Github is just a convenient website. If Microsoft takes down your repo, just upload to another system. Nothing but convenience will be lost.

You fall into the Thames.

You forget everyone’s names.

Zombies start eating brains.

Smoketoomuch: Yes, I’m sorry, I qan’t say the letter ‘B’.

Bounder: C?

Smoketoomuch: Yes, that’s right. It’s all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a sboolboy. I was attacked by a bat.

Bounder: A cat?

I disagree that parsing is validating. For example, you could give me a valid ISO date time string, but I want a shipping date and you gave me something in the past. It parses, but is not valid.

I disagree that validating early is bad because some other part of the code might also validate later and possibly do it differently. Yes, that’s bad, but not a reason to not validate early.
