Group or peer programming is really exhausting especially when you’re the one in the driver seat. Having someone look over your shoulder always really kicks up the pressure a notch. Here are some ways to relieve the extra stress:

1. Use an editor that supports live code sharing so that everyone can code together rather than looking over each other shoulders.
2. Take breaks regularly set a timer so that you don’t forget when you need to take a break.
3. Don’t be afraid to hand the keyboard over to someone else.

Improving developer experience can lead to improved velocity of development. However, sometimes our focus on developer experience removes us too far from our actual objectives. In this case, we may benefit more from an iterative approach to implementing developer experience as we implement our products.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
And he whose heart beats quickest lives the longest:
Lives in one hour more than in years do some
Whose fat blood sleeps as it slips along their veins.
Life's but a means unto an end; that end,
Beginning, mean, and end to all things—God.
The dead have all the glory of the world.

– Philip James Bailey

JDEdwards is ERP software that has its own programming language. After Oracle bought it, it became EnterpriseOne. It's like QuickBooks on steroids for corporations.

#Utah needs better public #transportation! I’m sick of #buses not coming on time or coming too early. I’m tired of #traffic and the isolation of suburban communities. What’s the point of public transportation if to get to it I have to drive my car?
