I’ve also heard that there’s no true Yankee. Kinda like there’s no true Scottsman. For someone in Mexico, all Yankees are from USandA and that’s all they care about. For someone in Louisiana (myself) all Yankees are from north of the Mason-Dixon. For someone in Ohio, all Yankees are from the northeast somewhere. For someone in Jersey, all Yankees are just a bit further northeast. Maybe try Boston, they’ll say. If you ask someone in Boston where to find a Yankee, they’ll direct you to some street corner or a pub.

Learned C++ by using gedit on the Sun machines in my college’s computer lab in 2007. They were decommissioned shortly after I graduated.

I fall in the abandon it camp. Code is read way more times than it is written. I’d rather read an algorithm that validates input than read a regex that validates input.

I’m a contractor at a rocket launch service provider. The final build of the ground control software is compiled and deployed to the launch pad with debug flags enabled because of a “fly like you test” mandate.

Millions of dollars and tons of time invested by brilliant people are riding on rockets that are launched using software with debug flags because of an “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality and archaic test strategies.
