Aaaah this fills in the gaps! Thanks!



What I found helpful early in my career:

Book: Code Complete - Steve McConnell

https://www.amazon.com/Code-Complete-Practical-Handbook-Cons...

A bit dated maybe, but still very informative!


I second Code Complete.

The Pragmatic Programmer and Code Complete were integral on my first job.


Thank you! I think this one will be helpful for them and for me.


When I press "All Times Stats", I see "Games Played: 2". But I only played today. Off-by-one error?



Reminds me of part 2 of day24. Some wrong wirings. ;-)

Interesting! I was wondering what in the world you could do with a computer inside a toothbrush. From the product page[1]:

- Zone reminder for uncleaned aread

- Intense pressure reminder

- Some kind of tracking through an app

- Send each other stickers through the display

Typical case of very niche/almost useful feature set for smart devices. If the zone tracking is accurate, it could potentially help a lot of people who have trouble concentrating on brushing. And some sort of reminder would be great I'm sure.

But bundling all that with an app and a big expensive display is just silly. An indicator LED and haptic feedback for over-bushed areas would be just as good (if not better) usability.
