The Dusty Programmer: Most Pressed Keys and Programming Syntaxes

dustyprogrammer:

I switch between programming languages quite a bit; I often wondered what happens when having to deal with the different syntaxes, does the syntax allow you to be more expressive or faster at coding in one language or another. I dont really know about that; but what I do know what keys are pressed…

If you’re thinking of taking on a project, don’t be discouraged just because someone has already taken a stab at it, or even if the market appears to be saturated with competing products. “So-and-so already did that” is probably the worst reason not to make a product.

Be very careful when calling -[NSNotification removeObserver:]

rentzsch:

Samuel Défago:

Never ever use -[NSNotification removeObserver:] to unregister from notification events, except from a dealloc method. This might cancel registrations made by a parent class, and you cannot know how a parent class is implemented (at least you shouldn’t care). Stick to this rule even if your parent class is NSObject: Your class hierarchy might change in the future, and you do not want to run into problems when you don’t have to, do you?
