Just realized that Agile is development gamified. Finish your stories by end of the sprint and you win. Why didn’t I notice this before?

@redcrew it’s been a very long time since I’ve been there; we left Michigan when I was 11. So I don’t remember where. I just remember cheese

Someone ought to do a Crockford on Angular and write “Angular: The Good Parts”. Not sure how big a market there is for technical postcards.

Why is the HTML in books abt JavaScript always such utter crap? Nothing but divs & spans. Dozens of useful tags out there; they only know 2.

Taking a bunch of worst practices, bunging them together and calling them “declarative programming” doesn’t make them not worst practices.
