“Now that we’ve been using git at Twitter for a couple of months, we’ve overcome several crippling problems and misunderstandings about how to use it properly. There are dozens of “intros” and “tutorials” to git online, but at some point you need to know more than just the basics of DVCS and the map to svn commands — you need to know practical considerations of real-world usage. None of the intros or tutorials had this stuff, so I thought I’d share what we learned.”

“I’m a big fan of the NMR genre, but this book was really just phoned in. I mean, “Chemical Shifts of P-31 Compounds” had me on the edge of my seat, and “Hyperfine Coupling Constants of the Pnictogens” had a little something for everybody. I can say this with the conviction that only comes with love when I say that “Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants for Silicon-29” is total crap.”

“I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.”

“Mac OS X Snow Leopard cuts in half the launch-time overhead of starting the Objective-C runtime, and simultaneously saves a few hundred KB of memory per app. This comes for free to every app, courtesy of one of the few pieces of Mac OS X that lives below even the Objective-C runtime: dyld.”

“This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock, powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.”

“I understand his complaints. He has identified some situations where dot notation can lead to confusion. In practice, however, I don’t personally find the use of properties confusing in the slightest and think telling people to never, ever, ever use them is misguided imposition of a personal preference rather than sage advice. If there is anything close to a consensus on dot notation in the Objective-C developer community, it is that dot notation is a positive addition to the language.”
