Are you an Instagram lover?

Or just an IG admirer?

Do you love to take pictures?

Or you might just wonder: “Is Instagram really useful?”

The code must be not only syntactically correct but also well-documented, and all the names must be well-thought-out (and in many cases, fully qualified). This is tedious work that requires a great deal of discipline. But it is just the way most people deal with abstraction; they get so caught up in the details that they don’t see the big picture.

He wore clothes of ancient design, torn and faded. He spoke of C and C++, and said that they were what he used to code. He had been a world-renown #developer back then when the office where he worked had not been condemned. He was an old man, now, and he most likely no longer coded.

The students watched him as he told stories of C++ and Perl and Ruby and C# and even Java.

The #newbies asked each other questions. How did you go…
