Thanks! I sorta brought this up again in another tweet I had about essays around the "human side" of programming that we tend to forget. Something that's been interesting to think about is how the ideas of a creator (even if unconscious) trickle down into the code (the names, how it's structured, etc). Like Rails for DHH as it's creator, etc.
how the code should be matured, or how to introduce youngsters to the code
Kind of a long read (and rather academic language at times) but I appreciated this gist.github.com/hzoo/c5e8e1e3f63ba... around the idea of mental models that are built (and dissolved) as people join and leave a codebase. We all have different definitions for terms and vocabulary, sometimes we need a shared one (can also think law)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
