A fairly diverse set of reads this week from agile development, to being a better programmer, to some cooking related things. Lots of good info in these, mostly short, posts and articles.

Enjoy!

No one knows what they're doing. Favorite quote: "The good news is that this makes you very not dangerous. The bad news is that it also makes you feel dumb and helpless a lot of the time."

Making technical decisions. Really interesting talk by Sarah Mei.

Sandi Metz's most recent talk slides. Can't wait to see the video!
