learn haskell (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 years ago

I’m no haskell guru, but I’ve gotten my feet wet and I can find my way around a haskell program now. It certainly won’t replace Ruby for me, but there were many things I really liked about it. And, too, it is always a good thing to stretch your mind and learn about different ways of looking at problems and their solutions.

Become a better programmer
Untitled 2 years ago

This was a poorly chosen goal for me, I think. It’s one of those things that has no “finish”—you’re striving your entire life to be better.

So, I am definitely a better programmer than I was when I started this as a goal, but that is not to say I cannot be better yet. It’s a journey, not a destination.

Practice religious test-first development for a month
Untitled 2 years ago

I’ve actually been doing this for over a month now, and I’m hooked. That’s not to say I don’t write any code before I write the tests, first, but it is definitely my preferred approach. It has made my code cleaner and easier to test. I love it!
