Noah Clue has no choice but to find the answers. #mystery https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/noah%20clue%20pi

"Omit unnecessary words." -WIlliam Strunk Jr. #coding #quotes

(It may be about English, but the same could be said of programming!)

"Don't reinvent the wheel!" It sounds like good advice.

If the implementation is easy to devise, you've almost certainly misunderstood the problem. #WednesdayWisdom #coding

1. Encounter undefined identifier error in C++.
2. Go through the checklist of all possible causes three times.
3. Become convinced compiler is possessed.
4. Go wash dishes.
5. Come back and see that two headers have the same guard.

Code blindness is real, y'all.

Just because tests for f() and g() both pass does not mean that f(g()) will work as expected. Integration tests matter just as much as unit tests, if not more! #TuesdayTips #coding

GPS is an acronym. It stands for "Gadget Possessed by Satan". #MondayHumor #jokes

Workspace rearranged (and thoroughly dusted!) Hopefully this will aid in productivity. :D

Names and intent-comments only fall out of sync with your code if you let it. NEVER trust code that mismatches its context.
