December 23, 2013. One Div Zero: A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages. Too good not to share. 1940s - Various “computers” are “programmed” using direct wiring and switches. Engineers do this in order to avoid the tabs vs spaces debate. And many, many more.

August 17, 2013. TextExpander Drafts = Productivity Bliss. A while back I bought a copy of Drafts.

Taking a step back and thinking things through would be more prudent. Is it worth it?
