What I have found gripping
Python code follows conventions outlined in PEP 8 (Python Enhancement Proposal 8)
Using a YAML validator brings up informative error messages
Creating a template document in markdown to add it to a process is never a bore to me
Tools can support or hinder you if you do not have enough context. You need just enough context to be able to use them
What I have read
On pair programming, Birgitta Böckeler & Nina Siessegger
PEP 8 – Style Guide for Python Code, Guido van Rossum et al
Featured quote
Jean Bartik was one of the ENIAC women, who are considered by many to be the very first programmers. They took on the task of programming when the word "program" was not even used yet, and there were no role models or books to tell them how to do this - and they decided that it would be a good idea to work in a pair. It took about 50 more years for pair programming to become a widespread term, when Kent Beck described the term in his book "Extreme Programming" in the late 1990s. The book introduced agile software development practices to a wider audience, pairing being one of them.
