    Worst thing about the ‘Estate’ film show at the Barbican was Qs for the panel from the audience. They never learn. Second worst: the

    @hondanhon I love that period when films were consistently really great! Oh, wait…

    @revdancatt I guess there’s also the “dancing about architecture” problem. So much of learning code is actually trying things out.

    While I’m at it…descriptions of code that say “That’s it!” or that casually describe things as “simply” doing something. YOU’RE IN TOO DEEP!
