It was a great surprise for me when I discovered that most of the ugliness I saw in others, was but a reflection of my own nature.

320: Recognize that you have a will-power and put it into constant use, until it builds a wall of immunity against negative influences in your own mind.

Golden Rule of API Design: It’s not enough to write tests for an API you develop; you have to write unit tests for code that uses your API

Opensource contribution: the truth is you learn much faster by writing test code for other people’s software than almost any other activity in software. Write test code, really good test code. Find bugs, suggest fixes, make friends, work on software you like, and fulfill your software development ambitions

An object encapsulates both state and behavior, where the behavior is defined by the actual state

Web-based development environments
- Local development and unit testing on the developer’s machine
- Development server where manual or automated integration testing is done
