That’s an easy career improvement goal to give oneself, but “become a kick-ass programmer” is not a simple goal. For one thing, saying, “I want to get better” assumes that you recognize what “better” looks like. "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better"

According to her profile - "Since 1992, Esther Schindler has made a living by translating from Geek into English. Find her on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, where she’s sure to distract you from getting productive work accomplished." What would she know about coding?

A good programmer isnt a great software developer. Only writing superior code isnt enough: you need to communicate in a excellent manner want you made and bargain good interfaces, salaries and benefits. And also have a wundeful life "outside the coding universe"

You’re only as agile as your ability to ship frequently – and without drama. see: No true Scotsman fallacy

The likelihood of any lesson being learned is a function of the time between the cause and the pain - which is why people rarely burn themselves on a stove twice but more commonly purchase and eat very hot curries.
(i.e. yes you should move fast and break things but you should immediately know they are broken - not at the end of the next sprint)

You’re only as agile as your ability to ship frequently
"Shipping frequently" is great when you're in the prototyping and development stage, where "shipping" means putting your software in front of people (usually internal to the company) to test a new feature you just prototyped or implemented.
"Shipping frequently" when you have delivered an RTM is pretty much a sign of one or more of:
- a poorly designed product
- a buggy product
- a product with crappy UI/UX (pretty much every website, right? Except Code Project of course!)
- a product that doesn't meet customer requirements (not that the customer knew what they wanted)
in my opinion.

Well, there is a difference between "shipping frequently" and "ability to ship frequently".
To put things right: Do you frequently ship crappy products, or are you able to ship great products frequently?
Many companies do the first, hardly anyone can do the latter.

In this blog post, I’ll share our experience porting MSBuild to .NET Core. You may find this helpful if you are porting code to .NET Core, and it will also serve to highlight areas of the porting experience that are ripe for improvement. "Here be dragons"

Articulate as ever, I see.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

MasterCard says it plans to bring "selfie pay" security checks to more than a dozen countries. Last year, the company started trialling the technology — which uses facial recognition to authenticate users' identity — but now says it has firm plans to roll the feature out to users after positive reactions from testers.

Sadly it is mentioned at a quote, but has no attribution in that article. Possibly Herb Sutter, a similar phrase crops up here: GOTW[^]
