I still disagree, Phil.

Not knowing Jimi Hendrix, or Knuth, in no way means that you don't care about your craft (music or programming, respectively). Not knowing the work itself is...

I don't think the article says that reading the article makes you a good developer. It's saying that not reading it makes you bad, or not reading about that person...

There definitely is noise in there. I only follow about 121 people, which seems like a lot, but really that's about 20-40 people that post more than once a day....

Sorry we missed you guys that couldn't come. glad I met a lot of you.

Do you mean things like the secondary air item?

Views are there to make it easier for you to write code. They're permanent objects, so if you need to use them...

Could someone have renamed "sa" with a character in there? Something unprintable.

If not, can you pick this "sa" and will it work? Can you enter [sa] in the box?

Safe travels, great seeing you.
