Misc notes

It's not about solving problems, it's about realizing there are no problems. Only different situations you deal with or leave them alone accepting them as part of reality.

It's dry British humour: "I'm a terrible programmer, but that's okay, because programming is terrible, the whole industry is terrible, and pretty much everyone is terrible at programming, especially if they are lecturing you about how to do it because they are probably full of quite a large amount of shit; now let's try and do better". If you are used to chest-thumping evangelical "rah rah, everything is awesome" sermons, the British cynical attitude of "no, this is all shit, and I'm awful too, but maybe, if we make a nice big cup of tea, and thought about it a bit more, we might be able to be a bit less rubbish" sounds grating.

Make plans like military generals. What if the Internet goes down permanently?
