  1. "We need to reach that happy stage of our development

    when differences and diversity are not seen as sources of division and distrust, but of strength and inspiration." ▸ Josefa Iloilo
  2. var stooges = [{ name: 'curly', age: 25 }, {

    name: 'moe', age: 21 }, { name: 'larry', age: 23 }]; var youngest = _.chain(stooges) .sortBy(function (stooge) { return stooge.age; }) .map(function (stooge) { return stooge.name + ' is ' + stooge.age; }) .first() .value();
  3. "One of the biggest constants in software development: the unerring

    sense among developers that the level of abstraction they're currently working at is exactly the right one for the task at hand." ▸ John Siracusa, Copland 2010 revisited
  4. "If I start using it now, I can provide feedback,

    and that feedback will help shape the programming language that I’m likely to use for the rest of my career. ▸ Brent Simmons
  5. "Maybe I’ll have a ton of feedback, and maybe I’ll

    have none — but I’d sure hate to have missed my chance to help."
