yes, you idea is clear.
thanks for sharing!

Perfecting programming is a must if you're a programmer, I'm not saying don't do micro-optimization, but rather don't learn any trendy programming language just because it's cool and trendy and that's hard because we enjoy learning very much. I hope the programming example clarified what I'm trying to say further.
Yeah, but that's what I mean.
Focusing on delivering features is not the path of least resistance :D
I misunderstood then, thank you for your comment Mihail :D
Agree especially the buzzword kind, you really need to dig in deep to think and reflect is this really solving a problem that is painful.
Exactly
