  1. Pithy. RT @tottinge: @bigballofmud Mud + eons = internet.
  2. My idea of a creation myth, @tottinge , holds that a puddle of mud can make a monkey that can make a memepool if you wait 4.5 billion years.
  3. In Java, at least: "Impotent doc comments w/devil horns" RT @micahlmartin: Can someone describe Generics in 140 characters or less?
  4. I'd been resigned to taking a "stare decisis" posture in deference to Justices Beck, Fowler, and Kerievsky's Code Smells naming decisions...
  5. I could see "Freeloader" in lieu of "Lazy Class" too. RT @tottinge: @bigballofmud @JoshuaKerievsky I wish we'd called it "Meddler"
  6. RT @JoshuaKerievsky: Feature Envy is a term that confuses people. Freeloader is much better term. http://bit.ly/7vOQQZ
  7. @hal_hildebrand Where is said ugly swell?
  8. RT @estherschindler: "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."--last words of Oscar Wilde (who died on this date in 1900.
  9. RT @KevlinHenney: RT @imtomgilb: http://bit.ly/8R5nLd Metrics Mania?
  10. Indeed, @daverooneyca "Talk is Cheap" may have been the Album of the Decade.
  11. From whom IS this "necessary"? RT @JBezivin: RT do we need universities to train coders? 5 years and a gang of professors is an overkill
  12. RT @onierstrasz: RT @girba: Not long ago, only lesser programmers were testing. Now, only lesser programmers aren't testing.
  13. Alas, @KevlinHenney the way you and I would implement compare() on Person evidently differs from shipping default implementation...
  14. Even Thomas Jefferson, @KevlinHenney had encountered difficulties contextualizing equality. Why shouldn't rookie hackers?
  15. RT @GeePawHill: RT @LDN: Boots: 'We sell homeopathic remedies because they sell, not because they work' http://bit.ly/8jXZ3f
  16. RT @hnshah: "WoW’s infrastructure includes 3,250 server blades, 75,000 CPU cores, and 112.5 terabytes of blade RAM." http://klck.me/AHs
  17. RT @johnperrybarlow: You can't fix a natural system. You can only negotiate with it. - Alan Kay
  18. Yeah, what's that about? RT @unclebobmartin: @RonJeffries I know that feeling.
  19. @marick Could be a job for the Composite pattern.
  20. I don't mind non-English tweets from interesting folks, @danielbrolund, but like too many Yanks, inevitably must treat them as white-space.
