∞ Just Fucking Do It
You drive to the office dreading your day, but you drive home with a dream… “One day I’m going to build a startup. One day I’m going to finish that side-project. One day I’m going to launch that thing.”
But that one day never comes.
Why can’t you just fucking do it?
Yes, why can’t I just fucking do my side projects? > Here’s the secret: they all have partners. This made me think. Why writing about your project in early stage helps? It has the same underling reason as doing it with a partner. ♥
∞ A Tip on OmniFocus
Ben Waldie has a tip on OmniFocus:
What I really want, however, is something that will pull out recently completed tasks and summarize them in Evernote, my note management app of choice. This way, I can maintain a historical log of my progress, and pull out summaries of completed tasks to send to clients. Since this type of integration isn’t built into OmniFocus or Evernote, I wrote an AppleScript to do it.
The only thing I miss from OmniFocus is a long-lasting daily completed task view. Yes, you can create perspectives to view the completed tasks. But they will be easily deleted at some point. With this tip, I am able to leave my footprints somewhere. Long lasting. And inspiring.

All I did was “Do things and write about it”…and you should too.
Yes, I should really start writing too.

∞ Zero Notifications

… should try disabling all notifications on my iPhone
Tried this strategy for a month, what did I miss because of no notifications? Nothing at all. And what did I get? One level of freedom and productivity.
∞ How Does a Small Design Detail Effect Overall Product Feels
This one small change made a big difference in how the app feels. Rather than trying to be smart and guessing what you might want for each row, we erred on the side of containment and predictability.
This is so true.
∞ If-less Programming
Andrei Lisnic's If-less programming:
I was amazed how Misko Hevery explained that (a lot of) ifs can be a smelly thing in a Object Oriented language.
But, before we get into that problem, the (widely understood definition of) OOP is a lie at the first place. The probably only good thing about it is that, just like the joke about C++, it created a new software industry.

∞ Why C++ Is Not “Back”
John Sonmez wrote on December 01, 2012:
C++ is the wrong direction for the future
Mostly agree. Except that, I don’t think C# is simple. Yes, C# is powerful. But way too powerful that you can easily end up with unreadable, redundant, hard to change code. To achieve good quality code, you still have to learn all kinds of principles and patterns.
有一天，小白兔出去挖胡萝卜，花了半天功夫终于挖完了一箩筐。
在回家的路上她看见了一只雪白雪白的小猫咪，她迷上了他。
于是她上前去对小猫咪说：“小猫咪，你要不要吃胡萝卜?”
小猫咪说：“我不吃胡落卜的，我是吃鱼的。”
小白兔回答到：“吃鱼？那鱼被吃掉好可怜哦。”
“可是我不吃鱼的话还能吃什么呢？我会饿死的。”小猫咪奇怪的问道。
“吃胡萝卜吖，我们小白兔就是吃胡萝卜的。”
“是吗？那能给我一个尝一尝吗？”
小白兔从她的筐里面精心挑选了一根胡萝卜，递给小猫咪。
小猫咪尝了一口说道：“胡萝卜是满好吃的嘛，那我以后不吃鱼了。”
小白兔非常高兴地说道：“太好了，我家有好多好多胡萝卜呢～我还种了好多好多胡萝卜，要不要来我家～我们一起种胡萝卜一起吃胡萝卜吧～”
从此，小猫咪和小白兔就幸福地生活在了一起，他们还生了一打猫猫兔和一打兔兔猫，他们都很可爱，他们都爱吃胡萝卜。
