My inspiration for the material in this book is my experience reviewing code. As I write, I remember more and more incidents, “Oh, yeah. That client was doing that wrong and it was really killing them. What can I say about that?” The advice I give in such situations is tactical, coding advice of necessity. I don’t have time for a deep understanding of their problem. I’m constantly amazed at how even a little help cleaning up small problems reveals the source and solution of much bigger problems.
