Here is few more thought on software engineering. What do you think of them? Martial art approach: when I was engaged to learn the sword the Master showed me 1 single cut and asked me to repeat it 10000 times. To able to solve big problems solve thousands of small problems. Chess Grand Master approach. Chess Grand Masters knows about 15 000 chess table positions according to a book I've read years ago. This made me think how can I became a software grand master. Let's take the model of 1 table position is 1 unique problem I solve whatever simple as it is. If I would solve only 1 unique problem per day it would take over 41 years to master software engineering... When in Rome, do as the Romans do: if you are developing to Linux use Linux as your main OS, if your developing to Windows use ... , Mac ... etc. Get to know, like, love your target. Less is more. If you able to reuse your code is good, if you able to reuse somebody else code it's better (considering it's legal reuse), if your are able to solve a problem without writing a single line of code it's the best. Good posts Matt!

Chess Grand Master approach. Chess Grand Masters knows about 15 000 chess table positions according to a book I’ve read years ago. This made me think how can I became a software grand master. Let’s take the model of 1 table position is 1 unique problem I solve whatever simple as it is. If I would solve only 1 unique problem per day it would take over 41 years to master software engineering…
